    I just purchased 3 new books yesterday to take on vacation:

    "Pride and Predjudice and Zombies",
    "A Confederacy of Dunces",
    and "Darker Than Dead"

    Any thoughts on which to start on first?

    Takes a bit to get into it. Once you are in 100 pages, you DON'T put it down.

    Definitely. I've watched extensive interview footage on youtube in which he covers pretty much the entire book...but it's easier to absorb when read in-depth.

    Elephants On Acid and Other Bizarre Experiments by Alex Boese. :mrgreen:

    got it from Heathrow for some light reading, aswell as another book by the same author (Hippo Eats Dwarf!). I'm liking it so far, I know nothing about science but it doesn't matter. :D

    I'm desperate to read something I'll love. I just finished AWAIT YOUR REPLY by Dan Chaon and it was good, but I didn't fall in love with it.
