I recently bought Selected Pieces by Oscar Wilde, featuring all of his plays and some letters and poems. Plus, The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane.
Actually, they caught my eye because they were both on sale :blush:.
Oh, and today, I'm going to by History of the Theatre by Peter Simhandl, a non-fiction book I need to do a presentation on. It's awfully expensive, I hope it's worth it...
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
Uglies by Scott Westerfield
Must reads :nod: , I had already read Twilight and Speak, but there was a sale, I had been meaning to get the books anyway, Twilight is like my favorite book in the world, and Uglies looked pretty interesting front and back. BTW, there was a get 3 for 2 sale, so it was all pretty convenient.: ;)
I just bought Culture Warrior by Bill O'Reilly. I bought it because I love him, and its really turned out to be an interesting read so far. :)
The Book of Lost Tales, by J.R.R. Tolkien. For my sister's Christmas present. Yea, it was awhile ago...
Well, I didn't really buy these books, I got them on a book exchange site but I did pay for postage so that's something...anyway, I got Life is Elsewhere by Milan Kundera and with that I believe I will have all of Kundera's novels. I also got The Golovlyov Family by Shchedrin because the review sounded interesting.
I'v recently bought Bellow's "Humboldt's Gift", Kostova's "Historian" and "The Forging of the Rebel" by Arturo Barea. Now I just have to find time to read them
What was the last book you bought?
I got two today, one that I'm especially proud of.

Don Quixote, by Miguel Cervantes
The last books (paid for them together) was The Shame of Motley by Rafael Sabatini and the 6th book in the 24 series--Chaos Theory (based on the TV show) by John Whitman Thursday of last week.
I'm pretty sure the last one I bought was Candide by Voltaire. <3

Suggestion, why not make this thread a sticky? :D
I can do that? I thought only the mods do that? I'll check.
*Edit*Don't think I can. Tried to find the button but no go. Sorry. :(
White Teeth by Zadie Smith
The Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hobbit. Mostly I just go to the Library or read online though
