Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

 

Also was made into a film. Really enjoyed both, though I'd say go book first in this case. Not better necessarily, just more clear and works as a companion.

The Thin Executioner by Darren Shan. 

 

It takes you on a hero's journey through a harsh world filled with ignorant, brutal people, competing religions, and supernatural beings.

It was inspired by the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Lovely books. Patrick Rothfuss really is an excellent writer.

 

I'm afraid my last book was less entertaining. The Third Kingdom by Terry Goodkind. Worst book I have EVER read. That means it beats Twilight. What an abomination. Horridly written and the story itself is awful as well.

"If This Is a Man" by Primo Levi

The last book I read was Lynn Flewelling's absolutely divine The Bone Doll's Twin, which is easily one of the best books I've read this year.

Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk -- I love his writing and genre-type (trangressive fiction). Most of his books are fascinations satirical studies of human society and human beings in general in an almost American Psycho fashion. I love it and I love the un-chronological order the plot is set up and the overall humor. Still need to finish it actually.

I'm almost done with Tuf Voyaging, by George R.R. Martin.

It's a collection of short stories about a man called Haviland Tuf, who captains a highly advanced starship called the Ark, which is the last remaining seed ship of the Ecological Engineering Corps, which can change entire planets' ecology and wildlife. Tuf and his cats are the only inhabitants of the 30 kilometer long ship, and they travel to distant worlds to solve problems for outrageous sums of money.

 

It's a very fun and easy read. Unlike his other well known series, A Song of Ice and Fire, Tuf Voyaging is very to the point and moves at a very fast pace.

World War Z and The Drowned and the Saved, but Max Brooks and Primo Levi (respectively).  Sorry, I usually read more than one book at a time.  I don't mean to cheat.
