Not very far into it, but so far it's great. A must-read for any fan of good (read: true) hip-hop.

Just finished another really good zombie book:

Just finished another really good zombie book: I picked that one up but haven't started it yet. Was needing some good humor so am re-reading Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.

Just finished another really good zombie book: One of my buddies (who I have slowly been bringing over to zombie fandom) picked that book up last week. Glad to hear it was good read for you. I'll have to pick it up myself soon.

Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.

[Mike70]

Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. part of your "apocalypse now" total immersion project? i just finished reading "john gabriel borkmann" and "when we dead wake" by henrik ibsen, second greatest writer ever in my not so humble opinion.

Was needing some good humor so am re-reading Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Don't know if I've already said but Good Omens is my favourite novel ever! Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. I need to read that as part of my C20th US Lit session I'm on atm Just finished: ... was a little disappointed actually, it seemed over-ambitious. It went on way too long, some of the fantasy elements were too fantastical if you know what I mean (I don't like the whole "because it's magic" explanations for things) and it just seemed like a longer, weaker version of Good Omens tbh. I finished it but I won't bother re-reading it. I think I prefer Gaiman's short stories and comics.

I finished it but I won't bother re-reading it. I think I prefer Gaiman's short stories and comics. I like American Gods, its another favorite. For me, a big part of the fun was trying to identify the various gods, demons, etc... Recently read Escape from Hell by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle which is the sequel to the great old fantasy book Inferno. Inferno told the story of Allen Carpenter a sci fi writer who gets drunk with fans and falls out a window at a convention and wakes up in Dante's Hell. He is helped by one of the damned who says he knows the way out of hell. Later its revealed his helper is Benito Mussolini. Very cool little book. Escape from Hell finds Allen still in hell after choosing to stay and help others make the journey out. He ends up helping poetress Sylvia Plath and the book chronicles their journey. Its not as good as Inferno, perhaps because the gimmick is essentially redone but still fun to see modern people the authors put in Hell. Picked up a new zom book, Breathers, by S.G. Browne. Haven't read it yet but looks like a good black comedy. Here is the amazon link with cover and reviews. http://www.amazon.com/Breathers-Zomb...9489154&sr=1-1

The James Herriot series - anyone ever read them? I wanted to be a vet when I was young, and have reread these books every couple of years. The stories are touching, funny, and make you not want to put the books down. If you love animals, you need to read these (that last sentence so just sounded like a Reading Rainbow thing! ).

I like American Gods, its another favorite. For me, a big part of the fun was trying to identify the various gods, demons, etc... I totally failed at that, lol. There were many that I still don't know who they were supposed to be because they were just briefly described in passing and never explicitly identified!

A screenplay for a Zombie film set in the 14/1500's called The Pestilence. To be honest it is quite boring, and the dialog is horrible. it feels like a cheap rip off of Army of Darkness, but I am only at page 9. So hopefully it improves by page 20, which if it doesn't I am running it through the shredder

Finally finished Angles and Demons. Really good book. I am glad that there was a final twist at the end or I would have been a tad dissapointed with the way things would have turned out.
