Archivist Has Not Learned of TV Show Hoarders; Tries to Collect Every Book

Hoarders: The Complete Season OneIn a move that would make the Library of Congress blush, archivist Brewster Kahle is attempting to collect a copy of every book in print.  Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive, has collected about 500,000 books so far.
Dude, think about this.  Alexandria burned.  The Library of Congress went crazy and decided to collect Twitter, of all things.  Sean Connery and Chrisian Slater had to fight evil monks.  Hoarding books like this cannot end well, trust me.  All you are going to end up with is a warehouse full of crates of books that we will have to play campfire with when the robots take over after the greenhouse effect turns half of us into zombies. 

Heyyyyy... maybe you are on to something, Kahle ole pal...

[courier-journal] has some cool pics of this project, too.

The Stupidest Angel: A Recommendation


Christopher Moore's "heartwarming tale of Christmas terror" centers around a dumb-ass angel granting a Christmas wish and nearly bringing about the zombie apocalypse.  Yep, that is about all I need to say.  

Here are a list of the people that will like this book:
Christopher Moore fans - Let's face it, you probably already own it.
Zombie Lovers - Thanks to the last few years, there are a lot more of you out there.
Comedy/Horror fans - Right up your dark alley filled with rubber chickens.
People really tired of Christmas - It may just get you back in the spirit, what with all the swords and guns and brain eating.
Anyone named Raziel - There is just not enough representation of this name.
Frank - Yep.  You, sir, are gonna love it.

If you have not already picked this gem off the shelf, then get to it.  A refreshing take on the zombie attack, much like Shaun of the Dead.  I can not recommend this enough.
