Name the last three books you have read...

I usually don't put snippets due to the fact that most of the books I read I actually like & think are pretty good or at least have some interesting concepts, even the few that may have some storytelling or plot issues. I'll start leaving short comments from now own, both good & bad, so that anyone who may think about reading any of the books I post will have a bit more info to help their decision along.

This thread is like Goodreads for me. LOL.

I enjoy reading peoples' thoughts on books they read. That being said, I understand that's time consuming, so even a rating system would be good. I like to hear what people have to say about what they read.

Thank you, Ra!! For the record, you aren't the only one who does that.

Those books sound interesting. They have everything that I love reading about in them. I'm going to check them out! I appreciate the snippet. :smt023

I know I'm guilty of doing it. Sometimes I do mention when a book sucks though. lol I'll try to do better.

You would be the other one I was thinking of when I wrote that. LOL.

But I think there are others, too. And I'm even guilty of it at times.

I just like to "hear" what people think of the books they read. :cool:
 
"Parting the Clouds: The Science of the Martial Arts: A Fighters Guide to the Physics of Punching and Kicking for Karate, Taekwondo, Kung Fu and the Mixed Martial Arts" by Grenville Harrop

"Anatomy for Martial Artist" by Professor Jane Carr (9th Degree Black Belt)

"Biomechanics of Human Motion: Applications in the Martial Arts" by Emeric Arus, Ph.D.
 
Currently reading Tolstoy's Anna Karenina... and I feel like that counts for the last three books I've read, as it's the equivalent of about 4 books :p

I can't make up my mind about it, because it's well written, interesting and vivid storytelling, but I'm almost finished and I'm realising it's actually not going anywhere. It's like a series of events with no real climax.

Anyone else read it? Thoughts?

Yeah I was forced to see it last spring/summer. IT WAS LOOOOOOONNNNNGGG
for absolutely no reason. Not my cup of tea at all. If you want a really long book to read that actually grabs you and is every much a classic check out either a Tale of Two Cities or my personal favorite Gone With The Wind

Its more my gf than me, she was a literature major in undergrad so we spent a lot of Saturdays over the summer reading to each other either in the park or at the beach.

lol I hope so. Even though the circumstances aren't ideal I'm betting it will be a lot of fun

My favorite stories were from the bible when I was a child. Especially during Christmas time. I would read a bunch of them before Christmas eve with my grandmother, it was a lot of fun
