Books Are Like DRUGS For Me

Yesterday i was at Walmart with my rents. My dad said he needed the laptop that night, so i was pouting about a night ahead filled with boredom (I'm not really allowed to do any thing at night so i just surf the web until i find something else to do or until my my yells at me to go to bed) I decided it was about time for me to get a new book. A few days prior to my visit to Walmart i finished " Kiss Of Life" a sequel to "Generation Dead" by Daniel Waters. I have to say that he- in my personal opinion- is The best author i know about that is alive today. He fit issues of politics, prejudice, and religion into this story about love and zombies in a way that's so smooth, rhythmatic, and beautifully striking that reading it is like listening to unique enticing song. the two books i have read by him so far are so realistic that i think if people did start coming back from the dead every thing would be exactly like the book, with, of course, some variations. Oh my giggling turtles! look how OFF track i am! when ever i start talking about literature my fingers go on a typing frenzy. my life semi depends on books, which is the point I'm trying to make. Books are like DRUGS for me, and I'm not going to rehab "no no no!". this addiction started with "Flipped" by Wendelin Van Draanen. this was the Real novel i had ever finished, it was so good i lay awake at night thinking about the ending for months. before "Flipped" i HATED reading with a hot fiery passion i literally never read anything until i turned thirteen. I'm for teen now and since then iv read countless books. i cant go a single month with out reading- at the very least- two books a month. My latest obsession seems to be zombies. Aside from the "Generation Dead" series, I recently read " Your So Undead To Me" by Stacy Jay. I thought it was a great book and Stacy depicted teen romance in such an accurate way. As a continuation of my zombie phase i plan on reading "Pride, Prejudice, And Zombies" by Jane Austen and James Grahame-Smith. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE "Pride and Prejudice" and i LOVE zombie-novels so reading this should be awesome. I'm always changing genres of interests and reading novels of other genres even within a phase of specific genre obsessions(if that makes sense). For example, I'm still in zombie mode but yesterday, when i went to Walmart, I bought "Ghost Girl" by Tonya Hurley. I cant Judge the whole book yet, I'm not very far in, but what I've read so far is pretty good.
