Even as a zombie I think you would still be more intelligent than I am though haha.

dude, why do you want to blow me and my friends so much? Its a little over familiar especially if we are zombies!

So anyway....

I just finished "Savage Girl" and "Jennifer Government" I would only half-heartedly recommend the first. They were both a social commentary on how fashion and corporations have imposed on the human experience, written as a fictional story. The characters were flat and the plotline was predictable.

I've been reading "One Day Me Talk Pretty" too, but for some reason, it's taking a long time to get through it.

In my mind I was imagining myself blowing zombies brains out using either a shotgun, or an M16. You did not see it this way, because you have a dirty mind my good man.

Guns were common to me, like I say my dads always had them and 85% of his friends I was around when I was younger had them as well.

Books?

Just thought I'd ask: What books are you all reading right now? What are your favorites?

I'm reading Tunneling to the Center of the Earth by Kevin Wilson at the moment. It's a collection of really weird, vivid short stories. The man is absolutely brilliant, and I bought the book immediately after hearing him read at our university last night.
I'm also reading Shame of the Nation by Jonathan Kozol, which is an expose on the segregation of the nation's schools. It's very eye-opening, but also incredibly opinionated and emotional.

Favorite books of all time are Ulysses and Dubliners by Joyce, A Farewell To Arms by Hemingway, and The Stranger by Camus.

I just finished A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by Joyce and was blown away. Definitely rocketed to the top of my list of favorite books. Dubliners has a few wonderful stories (Araby being my favorite) but has a lot of mediocre ones as well. I'm looking to read Ulysses soon when I have the time.

Currently I am reading A Supposedly Fun Thing I Will Never Do Again by David Foster Wallace which is just a collection of his non-fiction articles/essays.
Also making my way through Cancer as a Social Activity: Affirmations of World's End by Michael D. Williams (Singer of Eyehategod) which is a collection of his very negative and surrealistic poetry.
