"World War Z" - by Max Brooks
(Preview)
I admit that this might be a strange book with a strange title, WWZ for short. I recently saw the title while browsing in a book store and decided to read it. Not really a horror story per se, WWZ is more of a post-apocalyptic tale. The book is not, however, for the faint of heart due to a few very graphic p...

"The Post American World" by Fareed Zakaria
(Preview)
"The Post American World" (2008, W.W. Norton, 288 p.). The book was from the Flint River Regional Library system. I will give it a 3.5/5 rating. I will admit that I am not a big fan of Zakaria. I have at times very much disagreed with his opinions. Zakaria writes about the influence and imp...
