The people on here who get pleasure from George Retard Retard Martin aren't guilty about it, inexplicably.

nice dubs, and no, I have it though

Despite its obvious flaws, I thought World War Z was overall a really interesting take on the zombie genre, and is the only one I can think of with that sort of global scope.

>> No.3151084

>>3151067
The biggest problem with world war z is that some of the chapters are worse then /x/ level copy pasta. I remember the one about the Chinese submarine being quite interesting though.

>> No.3151096

>>3151084
Yeah, some of the stories are quite unique, whereas others just feel like exposition.

Stephen King, I guess. I've read a buncha his books, such as they are. Pulpy, but usually good.

Pic unrelated.

>> No.3152076

Anything that has to do with a post apocalyptic setting, I'll probably read. Also worlds that have a dystopia setting.

>Night Work
>World War Z
>Metro 2033
>The Walking Dead
>Y: The Last Man
>Zombie Survival Guide
>A Boy and His Dog
>Brave New World
>1984

and so many more... I just can't stop. Most of my vidya collection are things like that too.

>> No.3152103

I read a lot of SF&F, though I try to avoid the shitty stuff unless it's being talked about a lot and I want to see what the fuss is about. I guess I have a weakness for hard SF, though, and that's generally pretty poorly written.

I also try to balance that one-to-one with literary fiction or nonfiction...but frankly I'd generally rather spend my time reading Gene Wolfe than Dostoevsky.

Uh, it's actually Second Foundation. Hadn't you heard of real people porn? I don't know what to say. This is weird.

Oh yeah, got them mixed up. I'm sorry to have to say this to you, buddy, but this was probably around 1985, when I was eleven. So a) it took very little to achieve a boner; b) no Internet; c) dire consequences for having porn in the house.

I know, I know, I'm like a window to a prehistoric age. Feel free to ask an old guy more about his masturbatory habits--it's a priceless opportunity for you.

I saw JDATE at the library once and briefly considered picking it up.
Then I flipped to the end and John wasn't dead. Then I put it back down.

>> No.3152205

>>3152076
Yeah I like 'em as well. Same with alternative history stuff.

Not that they're "guilty" pleasures because I don't feel guilty about it at all.
