What was the last book you have read?

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON Idk how you can do this. I've a family member who is always into 3 or 4 books at once. I tell her "This is how books don't get finished!"

I'm too anal to read more than one at a time, I guess :)

@hlpflwthat Are you sure that 'anal' is the correct word?... 🤔😕🙃

Let me tell you, the book has to be extraordinarily engrossing on multiple levels:
Fulfill me completely. Sweep me away to other worlds.
The author has to be a master story weaver, and then some.
I am not easy to please and I LOVE books.

And only then, will I be satisfied with one book.
And having said that, I am usually reading up on some books related to health anyhow.

I NEED books in my life. I am a bibliophile 🤗📖💓

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON I am not at all sure. Perhaps simple would better describe me lol.

I [i]do[/i] tend to seek out authors that engross, as you say. And to be fair, I still supplement those with a couple hours of Current Events and Opinion most every morning.

@AtheistsForJesus Sounds interesting.

@SW-User I have read [i]The Remains of the Day [/i] only halfway till now, but I agree: it is great. Have you seen the adaptation with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson?

@Settembrini I haven't, but I'd like to. Many people saw the film first, but I'm glad to have read it first.

@SW-User It has been a long time since I saw the movie, but it is recommendable.

@JustNik [i]Howards End[/i] is excellent.

@hlpflwthat you want to unplug from the world after reading it. It's disturbing how prevalent spying is on everyone.

@FreeSpirit1 Yeah - I wondered if it would bum me out exactly that way. We really haven't a clue, do we. And the tech from that book is what - 3 years old now? Ancient.

@hlpflwthat my son had it and it looked interesting so I started reading it, it's a few years old so I'm sure they can snoop on everyone easier today. They are getting some pushback from private companies but the NSA finds a way regardless.
