Hey! What's the most RECENT ebook you bought?

Dr. Drib · 10-12-2009, 07:58 PM

I just now bought "Shantaram," by David Gregory Roberts, available from Amazon. This is a HUGE adventure novel that will soon be released as a movie.

I refuse to read it, though, until I finish "Lords of Discipline," by Pat Conroy.

My most recent purchase was the November webscription...

Torch of Freedom by David Weber and Eric Flint
Exodus: The Ark by Paul Chafe
The Cobra Trilogy by Timothy Zahn
Carnifex by Tom Kratman
The Tau Ceti Agenda by Travis S. Taylor
Laugh Lines by Ben Bova
The Compleat Bolo by Keith Laumer
The Sharp End by David Drake

My most recent single book purchase was Verdant Skies by Steve Jordan.

"Zombie Raccoons and Killer Bunnies" - a compilation of SS with alien/possessed/zombie animals as the protagonist - couldn't resist the title. Everything from Super Squirrels to alien bats. Fun fast read.

Superlucky · 10-12-2009, 08:24 PM

Man this place makes me feel boring. I just bought Rapt by Winnifred Gallagher (I'm obsessed with consciousness) and - God, this is embarrassing - Mackenzie Phillips's memoir High on Arrival. So far its really terrible and I deserve that.

Most recently I bought _Flashforward_ the MRBC book selection for October.

My next purchase will probably be _Gibraltar Stars_ cause I read the first two so long again and can't wait to see how it ends. Then, I will probably buy _The Pillars of the Earth_ FTW.

This is my kind of nonsense.

From whom did you buy it? ADDED: Just found it on Amazon. This looks wonderful !

Today I purchased The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett for the Barnes & Noble eReader (for PC). It's my first experience with both Pratchett and the B&N eReader. Several folks here at MobileRead Forms had suggested Pratchett to me as a writer very much in the vein of the late Douglas Adams. It was wayspooled who suggested The Color of Magic.

acprinter · 10-12-2009, 09:48 PM

My latest purchases were The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic, Equal Rites, and Mort all by Terry Pratchett.

lilac_jive · 10-12-2009, 09:48 PM

Hrmm, I bought a few but my mind is drawing a blank. I know I bought "Guinea Pig Diaries" by A.J. Jacobs, "A Wicked Lord at the Wedding" by Jillian Hunter...Oh and I got that Women Sleuth's bundle (great deal, 3 books for $6!), oh and "The Earl Claims his Wife" by Cathy Maxwell. I feel like there was something else...

I also (at the same time) got some books from MR, but since I didn't buy them I won't post them here

ficbot · 10-12-2009, 10:38 PM

I just bought the new book by Audrey Niffenegger. I was waiting for it to hit the best-seller list so I could get 100% rebate on it at Fictionwise

BenG · 10-13-2009, 12:15 AM

Ten Little New Yorkers by Kinky Friedman.
I've got 10 or so of the Kinkster's earlier novels to read before I get to that one. Unfortunately most are only available as tree-books. I'm currently reading Greenwich Killing Time.

Sparrow · 10-13-2009, 02:09 AM

Having previously read 'Refuge', I recently downloaded everything else from Richard Herley's site.
I made a donation for them so I guess that could count as a purchase.

Sweetpea · 10-13-2009, 04:06 AM

Even though I told myself I wouldn't buy books this month, I've bought two within a week...

Flashingblade · 10-13-2009, 05:25 AM

For me it was "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson.

About half way through at the mo & enjoying it

Direct Ebooks · 10-13-2009, 05:25 AM

I have read Black Titan - The story of A.G Gaston in teh last week. Fantastic biography of one of America's first Black millionaires. Its set against teh backdrop of much of America's modern History - WW1 & 2, The civil rights movement etc. Fascinating book with many great business and life lessons.

I also read The Dark Tide by Andrew Gross who is one of James Pattersons regular co-authors. it's very much along pattersons lines - a rip-roaring roller coaster of a thriller. Well written and compelling stuff, although,will I remember it in six months? Probably not. Good read though, especially for 10$!
