Okay – just put Diary and Workd War Z on hold at the library (My neighborhood has the most awesome library).

Right now I’m reading Night Work about a guy who wakes up to a world where everyone has disappeared. It’s too soon for an opinion. http://www.amazon.com/Night-Work-Novel-Thomas-Glavinic/dp/1847671845

The Sloane Tanen “chick” books make me laugh out loud:

Thanks for the review, I will have to add World War Z to my reading list and since I only have one more book on my nightstand I will be putting in an amazon order soon. And don’t worry Enrico, I will finish The Gunslinger first and MAYBE get The Drawing of the Three too.

I was just thinking yesterday, while listening to my Modern China history teacher ramble about this or that, if you had finished World War Z and yay you have! I’m glad you enjoyed it and I definitely agree with you re: the ending. The aspect of the book that really gave me chills was the global reach of the tale and the amount of similar stories from every corner of the Earth coupled with the unique tales (like that from the space station or the submarine) that seem sort of plausibly outlandish. My favorite account in the bunch was the one about the pilot who crash landed in southern swampland. I remember getting some severe chills reading that one.

I’m adding Diary of a Wimpy Kid to my list of things to check out. That cartoon is awesome.

Craig, I liked the book as well. Although I preferred The Descent (which I read right before World War Z better). It’s similar, told from the points of view of several different characters, about a whole world of satanic creatures living beneath the earth. Not as well written, but I think it was much more entertaining.

My roommate last year had this book. But I don’t know if he ever read it. As soon as he picked up a book he fell asleep immediately.

This is definitely on my top ten! It’s a great book and such and outstanding literary work.

Jonah’s Comment Review: Well, it didn’t really deliver compared to it’s self-hype. Granted, I was hoping to be entertained, but wasn’t really expecting it. Though the writing was creative, the content was minimal and fell a bit flat.

Jonah: Um, actually I’ve moved on from Criagger’s ass to more….pleasant surroundings…around front. And yes, THAT I won’t leave.

I’ll check this book out as well. Sounds right up my alley.

HUGS….

Jonah: “Read Jonah’s comment. Chuckled slightly, then drank some more.” How was that for a review?

Meg: I didn’t know that. That’s really funny and unexpected! Glad you liked it too!
