I loved the movie. Watched it twice. So I was interested to read the book it was based on. While the movie is based in present day as things unravel, the book is a retrospective of the Zombie Wars told from the perspectives of people around the world in an interview style. Very fun to read.

Blindness. A Nobel Peace Prize winning book. Took a bit to get into the groove of the authors writing. But once I did, the book was fantastic. Creepy. Sad. Scary. Sometime violent. But also touching. And kind. And hopeful.

This book is the May book selection for the Rumpus Book Club. It is based in Breckinridge which made it even more of a fun read! That being said, it was mostly about a mother who's son dies while snow boarding and three days in her life surrounding a visit to her house from a stranger. The writing could be a little more crisp at times, but overall a three and a half star book.

After some heavy and kind of depressing reading, decided on something lighter. This was a really quick read, that I thought would be better when I bought it with Wes on our used bookstore tour. I have really enjoyed the books from McSweeneys, and was quite disappointed at the lack of real humor in this one. Still, a book that was read in 2014, bringing the total to 23!

Depressing collection of short stories. There were a few gems in here including What have you Done, Rollingwood, and The Loyalty Protocol.

A good book about a mother and son who decide to start a two person book club while she is going through cancer treatments. Some of the books they read and discussed gave me some good ideas for some books to read in the future. I'm sorry to my mom who thought I was reading this because my cancer had returned and I wasn't telling her.

This was the May selection for book club. The author is a pompous ass who has an extreme disliking of Christian groups helping in Africa and international aid groups helping in Africa. While some of his stories about traveling overland through the country were good, he just comes off as better then you. No one travels as well as he does, knows more important people in Africa then he does, or sees the problems the way he does. And enough already with the stupid erotic book he keeps mentioning he is writing.
