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!
