@Chelsea you just melted my heart by referencing basilisk. I'm also that you didn't equate pirates with One Piece.

As for the fighting I wouldn't mind if it was the verbal equivalent of knock down drag outs. I'm used to much harsher arguments.

Now ladies. Lets not fight. Lets all just agree that zombies are an impending threat that books like this are helping us prepare for. That aside I think we can also agree that Pirates>Ninjas.

I think books cant be solely about zombies. They either have to be a part of the book that doesn't get harped on or a looming background threat while the story is about the survival aspect. Maybe its just me and all the fantasy I read though

It's not meant to be taken seriously. That is, I think, the point of it. I think so long as it's established that they are borrowing, or in this case adding to, another authors work they can do so without disrespect to the original writings.

It's one book. Seth Grahame-Smith took the original work of Jane Austin and... expanded on it.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

Thats a snippet from the book. I think it has the makings of literary genius

That reminds me of the next book I want to read. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It looks to be fantastic

I'm in the middle of the Last Olympian. the last book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. It's a pretty solid series.

If you're looking for a good source of short stories and even some flash fictions, and you don't mind listening to them instead of reading, you should check out Psuedopod, Escape Pod and Podcastle. They have a solid selection of Horror, Science Fiction and Fantasy stories respectively.

I can understand that. I enjoy a lot of young adult/teen fiction(in the way of the His Dark Materials tilogy, the Harry Potter books and, go ahead and laugh, the Twilight saga) but that tends to be the only major downfall with the genre.

How are you liking that series? I've heard some good things about it but for some reason I just never picked it up. I'm looking for something to read next, I should be finished with my current book within the day, and I can't really think of anything.

Hey, im new and local and was just wondering what everyone was reading right now?

I'm currently fighting my way through Lisey's Story by Stephen King and rereading the "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Philip Pullman when I need a brake
