See that's where I tend to draw a little bit of a line... granted Sean Penn starred in a movie recently that accuses the Bush Admin of being no better than terrorists (can't remember the name, don't care enough to look it up), but I can still enjoy him as Spicoli, or go watch Colors and not totally boycott him before all his anti-right and anti-Bush rhetoric. If they continue to write good books I won't boycott authors just because they're libtards... that is unless they start spouting their shit in their books.

the stand was great so is Cell by king if you like zombie books........someone in the springs should loan me one second after and the patriot![]()
One Second After in PDF form is posted in the Survival/Preparedness discussion- sorry about to leave the office and don't have time to actually go dig it up, but look for the topic saying something about One Second After- great read by the way.
And Cell, I heard it's pretty awesome, any truth to the plans for a making of a movie? From the reviews and summary I read on it sounds like something I would love to read then see as a movie!

It's good to have some books to read. Being inclined to insomnia I manage some.
Right now I'm reading http://www.amazon.com/Age-Greed-Triu...2497144&sr=1-1 "Age of Greed: The Triumph of Finance and the Decline of America, 1970 to the Present ". It actually goes a bit further back and shows how JFK & Johnson weren't so hot either. Even Carter did some pretty bad stuff when he wasn't being a doofus. It's an exhaustive (and exhausting) list of all the candidate for post-natal abortion who torched the future to have a great present. There's better stuff out there but I'll probably finish it.
Then I have the new Game of Thrones book, A Dance With Dragons. Signed by the guy at Tattered Cover. It's bit and then I have a well regarded WWII book after so I booked up.

I tried getting them as a sticky.
The Stand was one of the best King books I've read. We should all just become members of Goodreads and share our reading lists.

I pretty much only read zombie books and Ted Dekker.
If anyone wants any suggestions of good zombie books, I've read something like 30 or 40. Just send me a pm.
A real good place to buy used books is half.com. It is owned by eBay, but very cheap to buy. I bought a hard cover, barely worn World War Z book for $2.00 plus $4.00 for shipping.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
I have a friend that runs a book store, and I try to patronize her whenever I can. She is kind of struggling, and I have spent more money there than I care to think about. Especially when people tell me that I could be getting books for only $2.00. That's an awesome deal!
