Spike ,'Potential'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Re WWZ, I was just talking the other day with a historian friend about just how perfectly it works as an oral history.
Apparently the audio book is fantastic; there are different people for each report/history, so it really does come across as an oral history record. I'm probably going to get it to go along with the novel.
There are 45 people in the LAPL area who've put a hold on the district's 20 copies of that book.
Darn.
Apparently the audio book is fantastic
I've heard that too. I normally don't like audiobooks, but the voices are such a big part of the book that if they got them right (and when Mel Brooks is your dad, you can make a few calls to good actors...), I can see it really adding something to the experience that just having a book read aloud doesn't usually do for me.
Loved WWZ
Rest in Peace, Lloyd Alexander.
Damn, first Bo Diddley and now this. Somebody's picking off my personal heroes.
I loved The Chronicles of Prydain as much as I loved anything in my childhood.
Wait, Bo Diddley died?

He was 83. I don't think he was picked off so much as went off. It's a good old age.
It's time for the annual "crap, I have to get my dad a birthday present" post. Anyone have book recommendations in the sort of non-fiction, historical or political areas?
