.44 Magnun

My 44th book was very unplanned. I took my husband to the Museum of the Moving Image for his birthday and while we were there we had to stop in the gift store. I really wanted to get something good as a memory but all the books were too expensive and I could always find them cheaper else where so I kept looking... then I found the most hysterical book and by some miracle it wasn't marked up 100%... in fact it was at the normal retail price. So I had to get it. It is written by the author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The title of the book is How to Survive a Horror Movie and it is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. I started to read it the second we got in the car to drive back home and was halfway through by the time we pulled up at our house.
The forward by Wes Craven is the perfect opening and every chapter after it leaves you wanting more. It's cliched, and expected but that's what makes it hilarious. If you are looking for a light, quick read that will keep you in stitches this is the book for you, even if you are not a horror movie fan.
