Good Books

Here are two AWESOME books I recently read:

"The Worst Hard Times," Timothy Egan. Dust Bowl poverty, depression, dust storms that kill people and stir up so much static electricity they kill all Melt White's watermelons. I can't say enough about the gruesomeness of this book.

"Restless" William Boyd. Woman gets involved in WWII spying for Brits. Her daughter has a lame parallel narrative in the 70s. In the end, it's a good book and a real gripping read.

reading now: "An Oral History of World War Z," Max Brooks. It's kind of an interesting take on global crisis management, as told through a fictional war on zombies. Awfully geeky, but that's me. Seriously, delete the word "zombie" and you have a very interesting, very entertaining book.
