About Me
- Christine
- I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.

I am in the middle of Atonement. The situation is deepening, and the clouds are gathering.
All my homework was due yesterday, and I'm so deliriously happy that I'm celebrating with Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. Reading stuff for fun makes me happy.
Progress on His Dark Materials has slowed to a crawl. I'm inching through The Subtle Knife, and in between I'm rereading The Zombie Survival Guide.
Chabon still on hold.
On page four hundred something of Perdido Street Station, thanks for the reco DRD. It is far different than I thought it would be, not to mention different from 300 pages ago!
Hi Erin-
If you like Zombie Survival Guide (I loved it!), you might also like World War Z, same author. It was so scary I couldn't read through it the whole way at first.
Do you have a Zombie Survival Plan in place?
Mary Sue, there's a new book out on disease that's right up your alley, Survival of the Sickest by Moalem and Prince. Have you seen it yet?
Mary Sue, I have indeed read World War Z. I picked it up right after reading the Guide. And I agree that it's very scary. Brooks takes something we normally think of as ridiculous and handles it in a completely realistic way, and he's not afraid to show how people react to any kind of mass disaster.
My survival plan is to run like hell. If the zombies want to eat me, they'll have to work for it.
Survival of the sickest was fascinating. I read it about 2 months ago. Interesting to see why we might have certain diseases in our DNA.
Ahh, so it's not new, just new to paperback.
