Books
So last night I finished World War Z. It was a great story, much more about people than it was about zombies. I'd consider it fairly mature though, so don't give it a read if you can't handle violence and other graphic content. If that sounds like something you're ok with though, by all means check it out - it was very gripping and emotional.
The issue now is what should I read next. I have a whole bunch of books queued up that I want to read or reread, but there's no real priority assigned to any of them. Here's the top three:
- The Once and Future King, T.H. White - I've read The Sword in the Stone, but never the rest of the books in the series. Who can resist knights and wizards?
- Different Seasons, Stephen King - The reason for picking this up is that it contains Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, the story that inspired the movie. I'm sorry to say I've yet to read it. Also included are three other novellas from King's earlier days before he became the horror master he's now known as.
- Player Piano, Kurt Vonnegut - I read this years ago in high school and recently picked up a copy because I remember it so fondly. It was actually Vonnegut's first novel, before all the others he's better known for. It's a really interesting read, especially if you're an engineer.
So, here's where you guys come in. Which of these should I read next? Post your pick and thoughts in the comments. Feel free to share your own recommendations too!
