Started a horror/sci-fi novel called "Feed" by Mira Grant last night... it takes place in the near future, 20 some-odd years after a zombie apocalypse...America is slowly rebuilding itself (though large sections of the country have been abandoned and left to the "infected") and the story follows a team of youthful "bloggers" following a new candidate for president on the campaign trail.

I was hooked when I glanced at the first sentence while in the library:

"Our story opens where countless stories have ended in the last twenty-six years: with an idiot -- in this case, my brother Shaun -- deciding it would be a good idea to go out and poke a zombie with a stick to see what happens."

Finished this one yesterday, and when I returned it to the library I immediately checked out Book #2 in the series (I believe it's called Redline)... good stuff!!

Before I get to that one, though, I gotta finish my current read, which is The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History by John Ortved ... some great behind-the-scenes stories in this one thus far.

Just read "Slavery Of Faith" by Leslie Wagner-Wilson, a survivor of Jonestown. VERY good book as it details a lot of the things that went on with The People's Temple and events and life in Jonestown.

The Hobbit by Tolkien

Went to a rummage sale today and bought a bunch of Stephen King books for a quarter a piece. First up.... Four Past Midnight

I've been reading "Handling the Undead," a very interesting twist on the zombie mythos by John Ajvide Lindqvist, the same Swedish author that wrote "Let the Right One In." I've read that, too, and I have his third novel, "Harbour," waiting on deck. This guy is a fantastic author, rethinking what everyone takes for granted about legendary horror archetypes. Highly recommended.

Jean Baudrillard - America
Terry Eagleton - Ideology: An Introduction
Simon Reynolds - Retromania

That sounds interesting, I'll check it out. Thanks!

'Lone Star Rising: Lyndon Johnson and His Times 1908-1960 by Robert Dallek

Started "Deadline," book 2 of the "Newsflesh" sci-fi/zombie saga, last night

I have been writing and writing for awhile and am re-reading the book I am working on.

The People of the River - Gear & Gear


About Native Americans around the Mississippi pre-Columbus. Not bad at all.

This is actually the copy I have. I haven't read it in a looooooong time:

almost done with the Duff book I might read Neon Angel by Cherie Currie next. I am really enjoying Duff's book

Lost Everything - Slattery


Miserable end-of-times type tale. Wierdly written, don't know why I stayed with it. It was a 6/10, in my opinion.

I'm about half way thru this but already picked up my next read at the library: "This is a Call: The Life and Times of Dave Grohl," a bio of the Nirvana/Probot/Foo Fighters drummer and all around cool rock n roll mofo. Looks like a good read.
