Pensieri di un lunatico minore

World War Z

It’s funny. For the past few years, I’ve not read a lot of “fluffy” books; instead, I’ve read a lot of heavy books on social and political issues. It’s making my brain hurt, and quite honestly, it’s depressing. So, when a friend recommended World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, I figured why not. I had previously read the same author’s book The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From the Living Dead, which was amazingly fun.

I started reading the book on my flight down to Austin, and finished it on my flight to Chicago. It’s a blast, and quite fun. It’s also quite insightful in ways you simply don’t expect. Well recommended, and not the least bit about zombies at the end of the day, but instead about humanity. The interview format only manages to disarm the reader on the improbable topic.
