We Will Soon Return to Our Regularly Scheduled Broadcasting

Greetings, Gentle Reader, from the rather ominous sounding 2008! I am home, yes, but drowning, drowning, drowning in beginning of term syllabus writing, preparation, and unpacking. "Amy Reads the Week" will make its 2008 debut on Sunday, at its regularly scheduled time. Until then, Friends, wish me happy writing, and let me recommend what proved to be the best book I read in 2007: Max Brooks' World War Z: The Oral History of the Zombie War. Run, do not walk, but do run carefully, to Your Local Bookstore and purchase this gem of a novel, now available in shiny paperback.
