What are you reading?

[Undeadite]

There may be a thread of this nature already but I cant find it. The question is simple, what books are you reading at the moment, what are they about, and would you recommend them to anyone?

Right now im in between two books, Dead Lines by John Skipp and Craig Spector and Book of the Dead by Jamie Russel. Dead Lines is about a guy who hangs himself and the effects this has on himself and others around him. Im only a couple chapters in, and its supposed to have a supernatural feel to it, so I cant wait to find out the entire plot.

Book of the Dead is a chronological history/study on zombie horror films. Starting with the emergence of the zombi myth from Haiti in America and ending with modern films like Shawn of the Dead (it came out a couple years ago so there isnt anything more recent than that), it details in depth this niche in horror. I was not expecting such a thurough analysis, and cant put it down!

Dead Lines is very dark, so people with sunny dispositions probably wouldnt like it, and Book of the Dead is amazing but only worth it if you really like zombies and the deeper meanings behind them.

I've just recently moved and while unpacking, I discovered that I still own If We Can Keep a Severed Head Alive...Discorporation and U.S. Patent 4,666,425 by Chet Fleming. The book is about whether or not it is ethical to keep a head alive if it was separated from its body. It's a neat book that I love to leave out on the coffee table for guests to discover.

right now I'm reading "hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy" I've seen the movie and my buddy raved about the book so I'm burning through, its pretty good, though (no offense to purists) I kinda got the idea straight from the movie

I'm also reading Bob Dylan's autobiography

and "self reliance" by ralph waldo Emmerson, highly suggest it for anyone who has any doubts about themselves, freaking brilliant though short

You should read Venus on the Half-Shell by Kilgore Trout (actually written by Philip José Farmer). A lot of it was lifted by Adams for HGTTG.

Well, a few days ago I finished reading I Am Legend, I'm now on Tyrannosaur Canyon. I'm thinking of reading an Asimov book after Tyrannosaur Canyon.

Good idea, Asimov is one of my favs.

Did you read the novelization or Peter Benchley's novel?

[Simbobs12345]

Sorry I meant Peter Benchley's novel. My mind was wandering earlier But yeah, Peter Benchley is a very good writer.
