I have a feeling that this thread might go under fast without some cooperation, but I'm sure there are plenty of TFP'ers out there reading books.

So just like the 'Rate the last movie' thread -here-, share the last book you finished; Why'd you read it, did you like it, etc. I know there's a "What book are you reading right now" thread, however no one seems to be sharing these kinds of comments.

I'll start:

(I went on a reading binge recently when I moved and didn't have internet for a while...)

-Beyond the Deep, Bill Stone and Barbara am Ende.
A documentary/non-fiction about deep caving/diving to find the deepest cave in the world. I really enjoyed it. No real climax, but an inspiring story and adventurous nonetheless.

-The Coma, Alex Garland.
I really enjoyed it and recomend checking it out. Don't expect anything as "immediately-exciting" as The Beach, though it's a pretty interesting subject he writes about, and he accomplishes it well. I read it quickly (it's less than 200 pages) and I think it was meant to be read this way, almost as if I enjoyed reading it more than I enjoyed the specific story.

-The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz.
A spiritual (non-denomination) book about how we make certain agreements as we're raised that make us live lives as slaves to the society rather than living our own dream. Gives four 'agreements' to live by and how to slowly incorporate them within your life. I enjoyed the book. Might be a little heavy if it's your first spiritual read.
