What are you reading?

Craig Dilouie has a new book that came out yesterday. It's called "The Killing Floor" and is a follow up to "The Infection". It's supposed to take up where The Infection left off, with the US military absorbing reinforcements coming home from the Middle East and counter-attacking to re-take areas lost to the infection. I just downloaded the Kindle edition and expect to lose myself in it starting this evening.

Just re-read John Dies at the End because the film comes out soon (which is now one of my favourite books as it has the right amount of humour, horror, gore and 'messed up-ness'), and now I am reading Battle Royale about a group of teenagers who are put on an island and have to kill eachother for a gameshow and if they don't then they die. It's actually very interesting.

I'm super excited about the JDatE sequel! If I'm not mistaken is called "This Book Is Full of Spiders". I'm simultaneously excited and filled with trepidation about the film. I loved the book but I have no idea how they would do some things. I'm super excited to see the mural in Bob Marley's trailer though!

Shit Narnia! Testamints! Hearing Three Arm Sally FINALLY perform Camel Holocaust!!!

I knew a man! No, I made that part up! Hair! Hair! Haaairrr! Camel Holocaust! Camel Holocaust!

Is this the same Battle Royale which became a Japanese movie in 2000ish and that a lot of critics say The Hunger Games ripped off? And before anyone flames me on that, the jury's already adjourned on how many book/movies/plots you can have in a post apocalyptic world and feature some sort of winner/killer takes all.

I'm reading trash complete trash and I'm ashamed to admit it. I'm reading a novella by Colleen McCullough The Ladies of Missalonghi

I would so go and see Three Arm Sally, I wonder how bad they are going to be (probably about as bad as The Slugz). I am so excited for the film and the sequel but I think the UK get the film quite a bit later than when it actually comes out.

Yeah that is it but I wasn't aware that critics were saying The Hunger Games ripped it off?

I know it did a festival tour and was well received. It's just one of those "I've got an picture in my head" sort of things. I listened to the audiobook version of it recently and the guy who read it did an beautiful job giving John and Dave their own voices (his John was brilliant and exactly how I heard him in my head). I'm trying to keep an open mind about it, but I know that there is so much that isn't going to translate. Especially considering the length of the book against the length of the film. They did the Soy Sauce really cool though, using Ferrofluid and all that. Super awesome.
