October 5th - November 2nd
This Month's Book: "The Zombie Survival Guide"
by Max Brooks
|
Greetings Strange Readers! Here is your first mission: This Month we will be reading “The Zombie Survival Guide” by Max Brooks.
Through the shuffling masses of drooling, brain-dead self-help guides and instructional books, arises one of the most important, life saving pieces of literature you could own.
This guide will answer every question you’ve ever had about zombie outbreaks. You will learn what weapons and methods are best used in anit-zombie combat, or which mode of transportation will help you to escape. It even goes far enough to give tips and advice on rebuilding society. But, most importantly, you will learn about the zombie itself: What is it? How does it function? Where does it come from? The key to survival is to know your enemy!
“The Zombies Survival Guide” Is a collection of priceless wisdom, that you will, hopefully never have to use. BUT, in the event of a zombie epidemic, you will be glad you’ve read it!
Max Brooks; former writer for SNL (’01-’03) won Emmy for SNL work.
- “World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War” currently Paramount has the rights to the film. So look forward!
-Only son of Mel Brooks and actress Anne Bancroft.
-Next book “Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks”, said to get early release in ’09. From Avatar Press.
