Ok, what's the last book you read?

The last book I read was The Hobbit. Remember reading it when I was just a mere lad. Such a fun book.

Cicero: The Life and Times of Rome's Greatest Politician by Anthony Everitt

Nothing has changed in politics in 2000 years, except the weapons are bigger now.

Right now I'm rereading "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb. Before that, I reread "The Book of Ruth" but I can't remember who wrote it and I'm too lazy to get up and go check.

Have you read "The Witching Hour" by her? I really enjoyed that book, along with "Lasher" and "Taltos" after that. Some of the characters in that book are included in "Blackwood Farm" which is a vampire novel, and Lestat comes back in "Blood Canticle" which is the sequel to "Blackwood Farm".

I liked "Interview" and "Lestat" but can't get into "Queen of the Damned" or "Tale of the Body Thief" at all. "Merrick" was tolerable though.

I just finished "Full Dark, No Stars" by Stephen King. Only one of them actually had a supernatural element, and another was an obvious ripoff of "The Tell Tale Heart", and the "bonus story" was an obvious ripoff of "A Rose For Emily".

Stories and Texts for Nothing by Samuel Beckett. I've read it numerous times, but I never tire of it. "Strictly speaking, I believe I've never been anywhere."
