Today I helped a nice gentleman find some zombie novels. I'm currently reading another one myself.

Yesterday, I helped a goth girl* get internet access to a modeling site and had a nice chat recommending my photographer friend to her.

*goth girl and her bf, handsome young 20-somethings, are occassional library patrons; I've noticed them before, not because they come in all that frequently, but because when they do they are always dressed to perfection in stylish gothic black.

I'm sure you've read it already, but I highly recommend World War Z by Max Brooks!

LOL....That's the EXACT book the patron was looking for! I had to track it down on the sorting/holding shelves for him. Are you a zombie fan too?

Who doesn't love brain eating shambling undead? ;)

In case you haven't seen it before:

Before G hacked my email, uncovered proof of bad deeds I had performed, and therefore gave Daniel reason to stop talking to me altogether, he and I swapped quite a few books.

There were quite a few good ones he recommended. Probably the *best* he recommended was World War Z - in fact, I still have *his* copy.

From what I hear, there's a movie in the works. I'm kind of dreading that they'll botch it - it's such an intense and SERIOUS book. But, at the same time... very hopeful.
