World War Z

World War Z by Max Brooks, son of Mel brooks, is a fictional account of a Zombie outbreak across the world in the near future.  The book is presented in a series of first person interviews with survivors from the Zombie apocalypse.  The characters interviewed in the book come from all walks of life and give the story a deep sense of realism despite some of the outrageous events that take place in the book.  Once you start this book you won't want to put it down.  Give this a chance, you won't regret it.

Kindle 3

Hey guys back in August Amazon released their newest model of their e-reader, the Kindle 3.  I was fortunate enough to get one of these shortly after their release and I just thought I'd tell you guys just how much I've been loving it.

This thing has just been amazing.  I have literally no complaints about it after two months.  The screen is great - easy to read and no glare in the sun.  The battery life is unbelievable - I just charged my kindle for the first time last week.  And best of all, owning my kindle grants me access to so many free books through the Kindle store - most of the books I've gotten for free from the Kindle store I never would have read, but have ended up enjoying.

If you've been thinking about getting an e-reader, or upgrading yours you should really check out the kindle 3; easily worth the $139.

p.s. Been kinda busy lately so I haven't been able to read as much as I'd like to, but I am fortunate enough to have Wednesday off from work so will try to sit down and read through Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm (though I tend to have bad luck when I plan things on my days off <.<)
