Im pretty sure there was a topic like this a while back but i didn't look at it (sorry ).
Anyone have any recommendations on any fiction? I'll read anything really but i haven't read a really good story in a while. if you want to kill yourself get a dog. it is impossible to let down a dog. |

Just finished World War Z at long last, and rather enjoyed. I was a bit late on picking it up though, so you've probably already read it.

That book was excellent, except for frozen zombies reanimating. For a "realistic zombie" book that's a rather large discrepancy. |

Anathem. Also WWZ was good. I'm catching up on comics now. Jack of Fables is still awesome. Also Alan Moore has continued his decent down the weird sex rabbit hole.

I just got into the Dresden files series by Jim Butcher. pretty cool present day wizard in chicago fighting crime as a PI for "strange" occurances. theres 10 in the series, and they are all pretty quick reads (which i really like). Sci fi picked it up for a tv show but only aired 1 season i think... never saw it, but heard good things... Butcher is really fun to read, hes got a neat fantasy series too called the codex alera which my dad says is excellent.
trust me... I'm a 2L |

Anything by Orson Scott Card, but I recently read The Automatic Detective and freaken loved it. Amazing book.
I also recently read Bloodsucking Fiends which is a hilarious book about a convenience store night shift manager falling in love with a newly-turned vampire. Hilarious. ![[Image: steinwantsitdone.png]](http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss190/NotMrFace/steinwantsitdone.png)

One book that i've read repeatedly a few months ago was "The Areas of My Expertise" by John Hodgman. It's a satirical almanac, filled with information about such things as: The Mall of America, Hobo Matters, Matters Cryptozoological, how to make an attack ad targeting Johnathon Coulton, and the various shorthand terms used on a submarine.
And it's freaking Hilarious. Recently, John Hodgman published a promised sequel to the "Areas of My Expertise" entitled "More Information than You Require". |
