Okay, so I have to start out by telling you that I had no idea this book even existed before I saw the awesome movie trailer during The Hobbit. Warm Bodies is author Isaac Marion’s first book. And while I am not saying it is the best book I have ever read, it certainly impressed me. Why? Well, because of what the story line is all about.

The story line behind Warm Bodies is that a zombie living in an airport thinks about his life. Really, that by itself is enough to give you pause. The zombie is the hero of this book and the one you are rooting for the whole way through. Unusual enough. But then add to this a sort of existential crisis. The zombie can’t remember his name, something that starts with R, and has a best friend who communicates with him mainly through grunts, groans, and exasperated stares.

Political Cartoons from the Dr. Seuss Collection

Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) remains one of the most beloved children’s book authors, with 46 children’s books published—including the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, to name a few.

Before those best-sellers, Dr. Seuss worked for the New York Newspaper PM for two years as the chief editorial cartoonist, drawing over 400 editorial cartoons. 

I've embedded some of his political cartoons below.
