Pride and Prejudice

Friday, June 5th, 2009

and ZOMBIES!

So I heard about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies via one of the various TWiT podcasts I listen to, and just had see what it was like. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. Now, Pride and Prejudice is one of my mother’s favorites and it never really struck me as something I’d ever be interested. Throw in some zombies and well… it gives everything a really funny and odd twist.

How many books do you know of that combine…

  • 19th century dialog
  • unmentionables (aka zombies)
  • ninjas
  • shaolin monks
  • and a love story

Can you even think of one?

There isn’t really too much to say. Go read it, or listen to it over at Audible.

Extreme Measures

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

So I just finished another audio book while driving home yesterday. Extreme Measures by Vince Flynn is a hell of a trip. I didn’t want to stop listening which is always a good sign. It’s an excellent counter-terrorism suspense thriller.

My father gave it to me for Christmas after I told him I’ve been listening to audio books a lot while driving to work. The forty-five minutes to and from work has been getting put to good use. Audible is the best. I had previously been going through the works of Ian Flemming and Tom Clancy. Now I need to add Vince Flynn.

And lucky me… It looks like Audible has some of Flynn’s prior works. I think I’ll have to start with Consent to Kill, as it appears to be the first of his books that Audible has in an unabridged format.
