    Books are so last century.

    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.

    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.

    Not to mention which, Robert Jordan died before he could finish the series. 'Twill be interesting to see how this new guy pulls off the final book. At least Jordan and his widow made extensive notes for the last one, so the author won't be flying blind.

    Yeah, he died back on September 16 (2007). I'm surprised you didn't know!

    Tor Books announced in December that Brandon Sanderson will finish A Memory of Light, the final book in the series. Apparently he was hand-picked by Jordan's widow.
