my daughter talked me into reading The Hunger Games.
I gotta say....it was a very good read.

I just picked up "Heart Shaped Box" by Joe Hill (Stephen King's son). I haven't read anything of his but I'm hearing great things.

It's been a weird 7 weeks for me, I've never been a big reader... but, over vacation in April, I started with the Hunger Games.

I read the trilogy in about 5 days - liked it a lot. I then moved to the Postcard Killers, then the Grisham novel "A Painted House". And, I just finished the 3 books related to the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Now, I'm reading the Jungle (Cussler). Makes me laugh to think I've read 8 books in less than 8 weeks... guess there has been no football and nothing good on TV.

Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President

Fantastic read about the rise of a President who never meant to be president who was shot by a megalomaniac cultist. Ironically, the gunman didn't kill him. Interwoven with tales of the likes of Alexander Graham Bell and Joseph Lister amongst others.

A buddy of mine is a new author - his debut is titled 'Southern Gods'. It has received really great feedback.

I've gotten into reading recreationally again.


I bought "Dead City."


Other than WWZ -- are there any other must-read zombie books, or anything really post apocalyptic?!

That looks great. In fact, just went and picked it up.

Rep.

Get ready for man tears.

The Passage by Justin Cronin is very good, imo. It's post-apocalyptic vampire (though the vamps are unlike any other vamps in literature).

Need a synopsis, bro-ham.

Reading up on a part of my heritage currently: Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History by S.C. Gwynne.
