Rediscovering Reading


When I think of reading, I think of the hundreds of dollars I have spent on text books for school. And believe me, there is no enjoyment there!

However, recently I have taken up reading novels and have found that love that I had lost in all the clutter of text books, mp3 players, Facebook and TV. But so far this summer I have read 4 books, and they all have been great!

1. The Suicide Collectors by David Oppegaard- Think I am Legend with a cult twist.
2.Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith- Love and Zombies, what more can you ask for.
3. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith- Your sequel to the above book. Classic literature with a gory take. Who says English literature has to be boring?
4. The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan- These aren't your pretty "Twilight" vampires.

The Strain actually is a trilogy, but the second book isn't available til September and I am already waiting for it! It was a page turner. I an not certain, but I think my next purchase may be Prince of Thieves by Chuck Hogan, or I was even thinking Dracula by Bram Stoker or Alice in Wonderland!

Be whoever you want to be, go wherever you want to go, and do whatever you want to do!
