Books books books

Reviewing books on Goodreads got me thinking about reading, and how I haven't read casually in quite some time. The last book I'd read was Slaughterhouse 5, and I only read that because I was traveling to Minnesota last month, and books are the best thing for an airplane. But I was thinking about books I enjoyed and that I should read more, so I did. I started in on Douglas Adam's Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the Ultimate compendium, with all 5 books in one), which I got from my aunt and uncle one christmas a number of years ago (and have read 2 or 3 times since). Not only that, but the next day I was reading about how a book called World War Z is going to be made into a movie, and I realized that I own the book but have never read it, so I started in on that too. Well I got pretty absorbed in WWZ, and finished it about half an hour ago. It's basically a history book from the future, after a zombie plague sweeps the world, in the format of interviews with survivors. Very interesting, and quite moving at times, despite being a work of fiction. I decided to keep Hitchhiker as a sort of "bed-time" book, to read a chapter or two of every night before I go to bed, but maybe I'll read more now that I've already devoured WWZ.
