Book Club Selection: February

“Old Man’s War!” I know it’s probably a lost cause, but If you haven’t read it, you need too! The other books in the series aren’t bad either.

Too bad Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book isn’t on the list, he just won a Newberry award for it!

Put it in for March.

Aw man, if Neuromancer loses barely just again… well, I should be used to it by now right?

Damn, I haven’t read any on this list. I need to read more…

Frankenstein is free online. Get on that.

Aren’t you in High School? They don’t have Frankenstein on them reading lists anymore?

World War Z FTW!

Zombies…yummy!

I say we mutiny! I’m reading Nueromancer anyways…I don’t do zombie books. :smiley:

Nor do I.

But I can keep hoping for March, right? When I’ll actually have time to read the book (we hope!), rather than reading it and commenting months later. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I’d suggest, strongly, that you give THIS zombie book a try.

It’s not about the zombies. It’s about the many people who survive the apocalypse, how they do it, and what happens to them. It’s written as a retrospective and its very, VERY good.

Max Brooks, author of the Zombie Survival Guide (a great read too, if not a “novel” per se), really thought this one out.

I also suggest strongly that even if you don’t do Zombies you try this book. I predict that you won’t be able to put it down.

I hate horror. I’ve never sat through an entire George Romero movie. I LOVED this book.

A review of it I saw somewhere hit it dead on “This book is smarter than it has any right to be.” (A lot like BSG that way.)

Hmm I think I posted this thought somewhere else. Sorry for repeating myself.
