Yeah, so I should have posted this way sooner, but now is okay. Metal Gear Solid 4 is the best game ever. That's a fucking period on the end of that sentence there. Nice simple statement. Just thought all of you should know.
And if you're still not sure, I encourage you to find out, particularly if you're a fan of the series.

Book Three Finished
I just finished my third book, Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt, which is one I've been putting off finishing for some time now. I enjoyed this one a lot, the writing style was completely erratic, but in a good way. It's an autobiographical narrative by McCourt, detailing his brief life in America, and then his childhood through his teenage years in Ireland. It revolves heavily around his family life (which is very interesting), his school days and I liked how it details just how devoutly religious the Irish were (are still?). I found it to be very funny, even at times it shouldn't have been (spitting out the lord - literally?), but very sad as well. His family life is especially heartbreaking, but like anyone else's, it's not all bad. Read it. I think you'll enjoy it.
Up next, another one I should have read in high school that I never did: 1984.

Book Number Two - Complete
I know, it sounds impressive. Two in about a week! Bear in mind, part of the idea is me finishing some of my half-assed read throughs. This is one of them.
Yesterday, I finished World War Z by Max Brooks. A few years back, Max (a former SNL writer) wrote The Zombie Survival Guide, which was pretty funny, and very practical were one to find themselves facing off against the undead. In WWZ, Max has compiled a series of anecdotes he "collected" from survivors regarding a zombie pandemic in the near future (though from the book's vantage, it has been over for several years). The fun part is how bad everyone on the planet fucks it up when the initial outbreaks occur (with the exception of Cuba - go forced isolation!) before having to devise a strategy to fight back against the undead hordes or suffer extinction. It's a great read for anyone who isn't hardcore into sci-fi or horror and wants a little taste. Also, for any lazy people, they appear to be developing a movie based on the book, so you may get to see it yet. If they do it right, you will enjoy it.
Three to go!
