Day 336: One Hundred Book Challenge

Apparently there's thing going around that people had a new years resolution to read a hundred books this year. It probably happens every year, but I decided that I'd do that too. I can read a hundred books in a hundred days if I really put my mind to it but I have a full time job and a wedding to plan, so it may actually be a challenge to get in one hundred books by the years end.

Anyway, I finished World War Z by Max Brooks this month and it was a lot better than I had expected it to be. In fact, one chapter almost made me cry, not out of fear, but out of true emotional connections to the characters in the book.

It's basically about a zombie war. In this book, it's written from the voices of the people who fought in/survived the zombie take over and their accounts of how it all went down. It's from the voices of generals, soldiers, children who lost family, children who kept their family but it would never be the same, disabled people, nerds, everyone and it's absolutely awesome and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who has even the slightest interest in Zombies.
