World War Z


I finished reading this last night. It's a joy to read. It (typically) isn't like reading other "horror" books. Feels like it was written by the world's authority on zombies.

I'll have to check this one out. I felt the same way about I AM LEGEND when I read it. The author brought up some interesting points that I had never thought about before, are vampires religious? If so, why would a Muslim vampire be affected by a Crucifix.

My copy is currently on loan to MadManMacomber. But you are welcome to borrow it once he is done.

I'm definitely going to read "I Am Legend". I really dug the movie (both endings... very curious to see how close to the book it is, and which ending is closer?), and am a Matheson fan (I don't care what anyone says, his book "Somewhere In Time" is clearly the inspiration for the movie "12 Monkeys"!). I wanted to read it before I saw the movie, but didn't get around to it in time... and then I kind of forgot about it.
