If you've never tried reading the Zombie Survival Guide in a highly public place, you should. The reactions you get when people read the title are hilarious.

I'll have to, hopefully they'll ask me about it so I can warn them of the unstoppable Zombpocalypse.

I’ll definitely have to check out all of your books...when I retire! High Fantasy is simply just amazing, it's like you’re in your own little dream world. Ever heard of Sabriel? By Garth Nix, I believe. I hear it's a good one. A good political book is Animal Farm by George Orwell. Oh, and I must read The Time Machine one day.

Hehe...don't have time during the day? I lose a lot of sleep trying to catch up on all my books! Plenty of time to sleep when you're dead!

I find that insomnia is a valuable tool for readers!

Haha, not when I'm in college.  But Christmas is coming up, so I'll borrow a fantasy novel..  Haha! Very true, and I sometimes stay up late to read a book/poetry.

Indeed it is!  I know a guy that had insomnia, he read the whole Sword of Truth series in three - four months...wow.

I have Keats and Whitman for when I can't sleep. Keats is brilliant  I never heard of Whitman though. Lately I've been into Frost and Donne..and a touch of Plath.

"Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.
Henceforth I ask not good-fortune—I myself am good fortune;
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
Strong and content, I travel the open road."
-----Song of the Open Road
"A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books."
"Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you."
--- A Song of Myself
