Started it in 2007, but finished in 2008 so I am counting it. :) This book is told as a history of a war with zombies, it takes the topic seriously so if you are like me and love sci-fi and history books then this is an awesome mix.

3. The Alchemist (Plus) by Paulo Coelho
Comments
Interesting inspirational fable that is about as subtle as a shovel upside the head.

6. Savage Night by Jim Thompson
Comments
Jim Thompson is one of those authors most people haven't heard of, but he is great. This novel is dark, filled with memorable characters, and has a great ending.

A classic I have been meaning to read for some time and I was not disappointed, although I was somewhat surprised as it wasn't the classic "love story" I expected (very dark and gothic)

I love this story and have read a couple other translations of Beowulf, but this was by far the most enjoyable.

Disappointed, mostly about making sure baby gets correct nutrients and then some games to play. Mostly about all the stuff that can hurt your child, which is mostly obvious. Don't eat lead!

13. Armageddon in Retrospect by Kurt Vonnegut
Comments
While I love all of his books, I was disappointed that this was more older stories and not any new or recent essays. The stories are OK but definitely not his best.

Palahnuik's books have basically just become vehicles for his interesting and insane ideas but without the plot and purpose of his older novels.

16. Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Comments
Even though the ending was spoiled long before I read it I still enjoyed the book, I am particularly impressed by the author sticking to it even though numerous publishers tried to get him to change it.

A great read, very twisted. Drags on in a couple places but it's worth it.
