Last book you borrowed from the library.

The last book I borrowed from the library was Hawthrone's "Scarlet Letter".

Last week ;) I borrowed:
- Of Mice and Men (John Steinbeck)
- The Heart of Darkness (Joseph Conrad)
- Sense & Sensibility (Jane Austen)
- Persuasion (Jane Austen)

I borrowed Joesph Campbell's Hero With a Thousand Faces months ago (probably over a year ago at this point, now that I think of it...) and accumulated a huge fine. I haven't borrowed anything from any library since, and not because of the fine, I just have so much reading material at home to plow through.

Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy

The History of Art by H.W. Jansen. It might be a bit too big for a library book, though. And I find myself getting impatient with it.

A History of the Inquisition of Spain vol. 1 by Henry Charles Lea
Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition by Rafael Sabatini (which I enjoyed reading BTW)
The Spanish Inquisition (A.S. Turberville)
Ideals and Ideologies: A Reader (Terence Ball and Richard Dagger)

God Knows, by Joseph Heller. I checked it out, then renewed it once, and tried to renew it again. They wouldn't let me, so I turned it in.....and checked it out again two days later. I love the library. :D

Jaws.

I was fifteen. I'd heard it had sex in it.

Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee

I'm not done. I hate all the characters in the book. But my English teacher keeps on telling me how great it is... I'll finish it one day.

On the spur of the moment I checked out Marcia Clark's Without A Doubt--largely because the cover of the book captured my attention. Marcia Clark was the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson case, and the book is largely about that case. It turned out to be a fascinating book, albeit Clark had a lot of help in writing the book by someone whose name escapes me. I don't read much nonfiction about criminal cases, but Without A Doubt is an interesting book and the writing is compelling and it sheds a lot of light on the Simpson case.

and the latest DVD of Blade Runner edited abd added to by the director, Ridley Scott, in a four disc package with various comments.

The Grapes Of Wrath - John Steinbeck
Like Water For Chocolate - Laura Esquivel

The Patchwork Girl of Oz ~Frank L Baum

Classical Music for Dummies - great introduction!
Mona Lisa - Sasoon - lot's of pictures, not too many words...

I don't really borrow one at a time, so here it is...

Wuthering Heights
Hamlet
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (Book club read)

The last book I checked out was Frank Zappa's autobiography, which is a great book.

I feel kind of silly saying that on here (Read: Not really), considering most of the other people are posting about classics and obscure literature.

"Nixon: The Final Days" - Woodward and Bernstein

Last book I borrowed was Girl with A Pearl Earring, and that was back in August. I should probably return that book shouldn't I?! :blush:

I just got back from the library.
I got "Sabbath's Theater" and a book about Cult Science Fiction Movies.

The Modernization of Russia and Japan, ed. Cyril Black, and Byzantium and the Magyars by Gyula Moravcsik.

Do Androids dream of electric sheep? ha ha yes it finally arrived at the library over a week after we changed book of the month

"Why music moves us" by Jeanette Bicknell - that rare thing, readable philosophy about something that matters... and Zappa is mentioned as well as Mozart... :)
