How's that going? I loved Time Enough For Love, but the descriptions I found for Sail make it seem like just an extension of the more insane and disturbing parts of TEFL.

Finishing the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks.
It's a really fun read and some of it is quite clever, I am disappointed however.

A number of the chapters are good, but the chapter on firearms is quite weak, and he makes a few oversights on the packing of supplies. Also, basing the entire book on the assumption that zombies can't run bothers me severely.
Why?
Hope for shufflers, prepare for sprinters.
Max Brooks essentially ignores the possibility of sprinters.

I'm only a few pages into it, but I can tell you that it is part of heinleins whole "space-time philosophy" epic. So far, it reads like most of his other novels, which if you like heinlein, is a good thing.

Pillars of earth
Germs, Guns and Steal
American Rust
The Art of writing: a conversation on writing

I'm reading all four but I started pillars 3 days ago and I'm already on page 420. One of the most well written stories I've read in a long time.

I definitely wanted to start getting into reading so I decided to start off with a basic book about something I liked. I'm reading BJ Penn Why I fight. It's a decent book, definitely interesting to see what goes through his head. Feel like I could be reading better books. Will be going through this thread for recs.
