Title: If you only listen to Patel's recommendations once - listen to WORLD WAR Z!

It's an awesome book.  I picked it up before I left D.C. on my adventure to my new residence and it was well worth the price tag.  That said, I have no idea how they're going to make a coherent, faithful 2 hour of movie out of the material.  It is better suited for a miniseries on HBO.

I bought this book for my mother for Christmas along with the Zombie Survival Handbook. She loves it.

I've been meaning to get into Brooks' Zombie books, but I have a substantial backlog due to being apparently unable to read 300 pages in under two fucking months.  I plan to kill at least one on the drive to Flordia next week, so maybe I'll bump them up.

Books are pretty much obsolete nowadays.

I don't like books on tape.  The experience isn't the same.

Still, that might be the best path for someone like myself with such severe nod-off reading habits.

I had no extra characters to work with.  It seemed pretty obvious that by listen, I meant listen to his recommendation!

you can save a lot of characters by just changing the beginning to "Patel right again!"

Children of Men is really good.

Another good apocalyptic/post apocalyptic horror is I Am Legend, I love that movie. I think a movie is being made of it.
