Book: The New Dead – a zombie anthology
This was another zombie book that I got in the mail and that, again, I failed to review for a few months. On the bright side, I read it right away, I just couldn’t get motivated to post about it. I’m not sure how that makes me feel better, but it does. Now, brace yourself [...]
Book: Autumn by David Moody
I actually got an advance copy of David Moody’s Autumn. But, I guess I can’t really brag about that when it took me a few months to post something about it. I’m lazy. We all know it. Let’s move on. I was pretty excited to start this new David Moody adventure because I really enjoyed [...]
Book: How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It
You know the drill, you watch enough post-apocalyptic movies and suddenly you are seeing signs of the apocalypse everywhere. Next thing you know, you are planning alternate escape routes, building bomb shelters and hoarding like a mother effer. At least, that’s how it works with them. Another side effect of my rampant consumption of post-apocalyptic [...]
New Book Review: Dog Blood by David Moody
Woah ho ho! Drunken Goon must be moving up in the world. Either that or someone didn’t really read my blog too closely and maybe decided I was a “real” reviewer. See, I got sent an Advance Readers’ Edition of Dog Blood by David Moody in the hopes that I’d review it. For some reason, [...]
$4 Pocket Guide to the Apocalypse
Until 10 minutes ago, I knew nothing of this book. Now, all I know is that I can’t spend my $4 fast enough. From the description it looks to be a sort of tongue-in-cheek version of Left Behind or something. I like the sound of that. After watching Victorian Farm for the past few nights [...]
Just finished “City” by Clifford D. Simak…
… and it rules! I have a real soft spot for far future sci-fi books that were written in the 40s and 50s. It seems like the author’s really have to dig deep into their imagination to predict what life is going to be like 50+ years away. In the case of City those predictions [...]
Finished the Road, on to Wastelands?
Well, the same day that I posted, The Road by Cormac McCarthy, I finished the book. I stayed up till 2am because I couldn’t stop reading. Also, it too me a little longer than it normally would have because I kept having to get up to check on my two sons. Not because they were [...]
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Ok. So, I realize that in my post Oryx and Crake (maybe I should start reading?) I somewhat promised to start on Oryx and Crake as my next book (hopefully becoming a string on post-apocalyptic books to be consumed by yours truly). Well, here’s what happened. I’ve been traveling for a few days (nothing fun, [...]
