Now, a girl can get to thinking. This world is starting to look pretty strange. The whole Michael Jackson thing. Swine flu seems to be creeping back into the news (and as long as Sarah Palin or Jon and Kate don’t do anything remotely interesting, we might hear more about a creepy sounding novel flu virus in good old Saskatchewan). There’s all this worry of climate change and a new report on how shifting climates are going to cause food shortages, the Iran thing, North Korean missiles flying all over the place…
…and a girl starts to think that perhaps she should cater her reading list to these trying times. What to read? What books will help prepare her (and her cats) for the coming zombie apocalypse?
Fortunately, there are recommendations: The Apocalyptic Book List. Very good. Now I can give myself a whole new set of nightmares.

Good god man! It certainly would have to be the Apocalypse for me to find my way through 32 pages of recommended books. I do have to eat, sleep, and work ya know. Still, nice to see someone taking the time to put the list together. Kinda inspiring, in a strange kinda way, if I do say so myself.

No shit! I have nothing but admiration for the thorougher-than-me, but given the approaching sound of hooves clopping, give us the shortlist.
Still, I suppose it’s good to have the whole thing, in case the wait’s a little longer than predicted.

Heh. I knew this would one of your posts as soon as I saw the title. The only sign of the impending Apocalypse that you left out was the sewer worm of Raleigh, North Carolina.

If there was any justice in the world, “novel flu” would have anti-writer’s block antibodies.
