I really gotta pick up reading, preferrably some fantasy books. The Witcher, A Song of Ice and Fire, all that stuff.

This Book is Full of Spiders arrived, but John Dies at The End didn't yet. Even though I ordered them both on the same day from the same source.

You should read Malazan Book of the Fallen. It's a bit like ASOIAF except nerdier.

Reading this Atlas Shrugged book is going to kill my eyes.

It's 6 inches tall, 4 wide, and 2 inches thick. and the text is like 9 points tall.

I was going to attempt Atlas Shrugged, out of curiosity. My bestie said not to, because apparently it is awful, and contains a 70-ish-page monologue expressing the author's political beliefs, near the end, and also, this stuff notwithstanding, Ayn Rand is a frightening person. I am not sure I could handle reading it, but your experience may differ. :)

I started reading This Book is full of Spiders.

It's a fun read though I'm getting more frustrated at the dismissal of biology and physics in how the zombies and other paranormal things work than I should in a book about zombies and other paranormal things.

I'll have to go to the post office to see what's up with John Dies at the End. They shipped it 2 weeks ago but it's not here.

I just started John Dies at the End. According to my Kindle, I'm 9% through it and I love it so much already.

I am reading Pride and Predudice and Zombies. It is surprisingly captivating my interest.

Atlas Shrugged is a excellent of how you can create your own reality to suit any sort of story you create and people can and will eat it up.

Doesn't every author choose a world that helps the story they want to do?
