AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Read The Maze Runner because reasons. Honestly, it sucks, the dialog sucks, the pacing sucks, and the characters really suck. The setting was engaging enough to get me through the book, and enough to get me interested in the movie.

Book Recommendations!

If you like Steam Punk, I have a few good author to check out.

Cherie Priest: The first book in the series is called Boneshaker.
There is steampunk, airships, zombies, and the civil war.

Mark Hodder: The first book in the series is called Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack.
Time traveler screws up history and Victorian-era London gains crazy steam-powered tech... and mad scientist-style genetic engineering. Everything is based around real historic events, twisted into extreme measures. Very fun to read.

Origami Yoda.
READ AT ONCE!
I'm not even a Star Wars fan and I love it.

I finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman recently.

It's good. It's really good.

I finished reading The Road today. Which is the same as saying "I'm really sad today."

I would recommend it. It has a weird writing style, but it's not too hard to get used to.

Been reading translations of the Full Metal Panic books since I finished the anime (books continue beyond it), and I am loving the plethora of robot fights, and Sousuke just...being Sousuke. God, that boy is just...augh. Although I just finished book 7, and

Al nooooooo... ;-; Furthermore, the author did an excellent job of making me hate Leonard. So much. So, so much.

I didnt quite get the point of that book. There is bodaciously NO room for growth, the kid might as well have died at the end too because its just a matter of time.

I've had been reading Jim Butcher's contemporary fantasy for a while now, but I never quite got around to his high fantasy. It was a project of love for him, but I'm not a huge fan of high fantasy. I picked it up and it's not half bad. It's got me interested at least.

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It's the funniest story about Armageddon I've ever read.

One thing I really like is that the Horsemen of the Apocalypse are not funny. You might still laugh at the things that happen around them, but the entities themselves just seem to have that gravitas that prevents anything funny from happening to them.

I am obliged to ask what you thought about Bilquis's initial scene.

Came out of left field and I didn't truly understand it until much later in the book, after it's explained that the gods take sustenance from "worship," in Bilquis' case the worship being sexual in nature. I realized that the hooker was a god, but the true meaning of the scene didn't strike me until later. I just figured it was a random scene with a random god. And of course it becomes extremely relevant when the book's antagonists reveal that their plan is to foster worship, tributes, and the like for themselves on a grand scale.

I finished Good Omens. It was amazing and is now my canon for Christianity.

BOOKS.
READ THEM.

It took me a long time but I've finally finished reading everything from the Silmarillion through Return of the King. By all rights these are my favourite books.

Including The Children of Húrin and Unfinished Tales? Either way, good job. I tried rereading Silmarillion a year ago but I gave up halfway through.

I've got another book of Neil Gaiman short stories. The first one combines Sherlock Holmes and Lovecraft's Old Ones with a great twist at the end.

THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD.
