I'm an english teacher - a bibliophile - eclectic taste in books but read voraciously - love stories/films about zombies and the apocalypse - don't know what the appeal is, i guess it's just about obliteration of old world values and systems that i just don't see as working anymore - like experimental prose - breaking boundaries, although i don't write like that - i admire both pared down writing and lyrical prose - thinking off hand of faulkner, hemingway, murakami, sebastian barry - of course there are so many, many more....
