    Greek Lives by Plutarch
    The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli.
I've already read the last one but I wanted to buy a copy to re-read :D
I read the Prince when I was in uni (for a political science class). And now I am kind of disturbed that someone would actually read this book willingly. :hand:

You wouldn't agree that it's at least interesting?

I also bought 'Jurassic Park' last night for 1p :D

I believe the last book I just purchased was American Heritage History of the American Revolution by Bruce Lancaster. The last book I borrowed was The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. It was due back at the library today.

The last book I bought from an actual bookstore was An Abundance of Kathryns by John Green. The last book I borrowed was The Son by Lois Lowry a month or more ago from an acquaintance, which I still have and haven't even opened yet. Oops...

I recently purchased "The Best of Me" by Nicholas Sparks. The movie was amazing, so I'm hoping for the book to turn out the same!

I would appreciate it if someone would buy me a book so that I don't have to spend money. 8)

Books I recently purchased: Biblical Grandparenting by Josh Mulvihill.
Books recently borrowed: The book of Signs by Dr. David Jeremiah, and The Case for Christ for Kids by Josh McDowell

My granddad asked his grandkids to read The Book of Signs because it made an impact on him, and I am finding it incredibly interesting. To counter that, I heard of Josh Mulvihill and his books, so I grabbed one to read and make notes in order to send to my granddad as a cute correspondence together.

I just bought Fight Story by Vamsidhar Chaturvedula. So far so good. Impressive to think this is the author's first published novel.
