NPR is saying this is the summer where giant squid and (I'm guessing normal-sized) zombies are dominating all reading. I'm actually excited to get into China Mieville's Kraken. But I'm hoping that at some point, octopi will get center stage. Squid don't have tentacles or suckers, which makes octopi superior beings. But I will accept squid being in the spotlight for the moment. At least it is a cephalopod, right?
But the zombies, I dunno. I think their golden age has passed and people have moved on to vampires as the ghoul de jour.
