FabSwingers.com forum: The last book you read?

By (user no longer on site) OP

I've just finished Mike Tyson- The Undisputed Truth. An extremely bare bones book, talking about his addictions and mental issues, as well as his boxing. Well worth a read.

I love autobiographies, and I find boxers fascinating characters.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

The last one was The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August.

I'm reading Look Who's Back by Timur Vermes. It's the satirical novel about Hitler being a YouTube star. He'd have even more to say about current events.

Was lucky to find a signed 1st edition of Wilbur Smith's "Warlock", in a charity shop.

Already had a copy but for 2 quid, it was too good to pass by.

Since I got Kindle on the tablet, I mostly read random free crap, from Amazon - lol

Just finished reading the final Terry Pratchett book, The Shepherd's Crown.

Found myself having a little cry more than once - sad to lose some of my favourite literary characters as well as a much adored author.

Waiting for Mr Kinky to finish it now so we can discuss it!

I just found this, an without starting a new thread that no-one will understand, I thought I'd dump it here for the book-readers.

From Bakunin's Confessions:

It was a party without beginning or end; I saw everyone and no-one, for each individual was lost in the same enormous strolling crowd; I spoke to everyone without remembering either my own words or those spoken by others, because everyone's attention was absorbed at every step by new objects and events, and by unexpected news."

This sooooo reminds me of FabSwingers... I'm imagining gliding through a mass of writhing bodies as I read this...

I can't remember - it's been too long (I got through phases).

I was clearing up earlier though and found a load of books I've never read before so looking forward to getting my nose stuck into a few.

Nation by Terry Pratchett.

It's a standalone one and apparently the book he was most proud/pleased with.

I managed to read most of it whilst on various forms of public transport today and enjoyed it so much I sacrificed doing my chores when I got home so I could finish it.

Since his demise I've promised myself to read all of his books. I've read a couple but it was too long ago for me to really remember anything.

Not sacrilege at all, we all like different stuff. Some of the discworld ones I've read and reread, others I read once.

But Nation is now up there with Good Omens for me.

I don't read nearly as much as I should, I used to like Stephen King but prefer fact based books like the style of Stephen E. Ambrose (war history always works for me) Never read 1984 but think that will be my next. I'm not sure where too get ideas of what too read.

Snap. Just read the Martian (both of us) and loved it.

The Passage - I loved this, but when I Google release date of the 3rd book it said March next year. Sorry. You probably feel like I did now
