I love to read but hate reading books. I don’t like holding them, forcing each half to stay open and flat, turning pages and needing to have the lights on, etc. When I got my iPhone, while excited to have eBooks available I wasn’t sure I would be able to read on a small screen (I was hoping to someday get a Kiddle or something). But I gave it a try and loved it. I’ve read one book so far, “The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde. With that book done, it’s time to move on to another classic – or rather an emerging classic… “Zombie Survival Guide”!

So far it’s a great book. My friend and director Clay Delauney suggested it to me. It’ll be a great resource the next time I shoot a zombie film. I love how “as a matter a fact” it is. I’ve read enough military and survival manual to appreciate how appropriately it’s presented. It’s not written “tongue-in-cheek” rather there’s a seriousness if not sincere quality that give it authenticity. Like a good movie, you’re easily able to become immersed in the book.

I was also surprised to find out that the writer is the son of Mel Brooks. He is also a high school classmate of my wife. Small world.

So remember…
