I finished the Strain, which was a bit of a disappointment. So much foreplay, followed by a rather disappointing ending. I will still likely read the sequel as I like the set up and two of the characters. I am wondering what Marilyn Manson thinks of it, given the pivotal role a character blatantly based on him plays in the thing. I suspect he is/was amused, given his intelligence and self mockery in general. Ovrerall, it really was my sort of book. I just wish it were more stand alone.

I finished the Living Dead anthology.
I'd read quite a few of the stories in various magazines etc., but there was plenty of the stories I hadn't, including the fascinating first story about a deranged elementary teacher. I was extra pleased to see one of my favorite Zombie stories ever is the last story in there. (Our Town with zombies, basically. Trust me, it works). It was uneven as anthologies are apt to be and there were at least two so boring I had trouble finishing, but mostly, I was pleased.
