Lower Connecticut, though I work in Manhattan. That said, within the next year I might be living in Manhattan. (looking that way anyhow)

As for the Zombie book. I haven't had a lot of time to read it, but I've just entered the "Panic" part today, but haven't yet read anything of that section yet. So far, I'm very pleased except for one part where the guy he was supposedly interviewing was way, way, way to self centered. Very much like a certain Canadian who posts here.

BTW, the movie should be coming out soon. Here is a trailer...

[View Full Quote]I've been debating on getting an ereader but i'm still reluctant, at least not yet. Part of the reason is the price of books. Another reason is the number of books i have sitting on my shelf that I have yet to read.

I buy 95% of my books used, either at a used book store near my house or online. Used books cost me, on average, $3-$4 per book. After I read it, if I don't want to hang on to it (I keep very few of them), I take it back to the bookstore and get credit for half of the price I paid for it. So, in reality, I spend $2 or less on each book I read. Considering I usually average at least a book per week (sometimes more), I can't justify paying any more than that for a book.

That's not an official trailer, it's a fake. People seem to think it's a cool idea to make fake trailers and pass them off as real ones. The clips in that trailer are from Se7en, 28 days later and other zombie films.

I should have recognized the scene with Pitt in the interrogation room from Se7en.

Long Lost (Myron Bolitar Mystery)-----Harlan Coben

By far the weakest book in the series. Meh...

Is anyone into Spy thrillers? Alex Berenson has wrote a few novels about one character that went deep cover in Al qaeda and then re-joined the world and continues to do counter-terrorism.

All of his books just grab your attention, his character development is very good, even for minor secondary characters.

Reading George R.R. Martin's book A Game Of Thrones. Love it! Can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

Just got World War Z. So far it is awesome, question without giving anything away do they revist the stories they are discussing in the first chapter?

I'm currently reading Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. It's the true story of former Olympian, bombardier, and POW Louis Zamperini. It's one of the most riveting books I've read in years.

I'm also reading Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. That is significantly less riveting.

I have heard so many good things about that book. I'm going to have to buy it at some point.

I've also read Unbroken. Excellent book. I've heard that Steven Spielberg wants to direct the movie version, with Nicholas Cage as Louis. We'll see what happens.

If you like crime fiction, try the author R. J. Ellory. He's a british author, but his books are set in the U. S. South. Reading A Quiet Vendetta now, which is all about the Mafia from the 1950s onward.

I heard "Walden" was good and I was thinking of reading it , can anyone confirm this book is good?

Just finished Zombie Fallout 5 a month ago and patiently awaiting Zombie Fallout 6. If you like zombie books I suggest give it a try.

Also recently read The Walking Dead-Rise of the Governor (good read especially if you're a Walking Dead fan) and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter(also a good read)

I plan on getting The Dark Knight Rises when it comes out as well.
