    Yay, books.

    I just recently finished reading World War Z, which was a very good look at the pandemonium that occurs during societal collapse, and the psychology of people in crisis. Also, zombies.

    I'm now moving onto the gargantuan novel by Ayn Rand, 'Atlas Shrugged'. So far, so good.

    what's Altas of Shrugged??
    "No one said it was gonna be easy! If it was, everyone would do it..that's who you know who really wants it."

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    No no, a regular biography of Tully. And not too bad either.

    Well, I've read all the eleven books of the Wheel of Time and LoTR; but beyond that, not much really.

    I love books. I've been reading them regularly since I was 11 or 12. I never *not* have a book to read; any other possibility does not bear considering.
