I stood looking over my damaged home and tried to forget the sweetness of life on Earth.
3.5*. This was an interesting time to read this book. Three months earlier and it would have put me into a panic; I'd have been out there stocking up on loo roll with the best of them. Now, with Covid slowly becoming the new norm and fears of a very real apocalypse put to rest, it's a reminder to appreciate what we still have left, the comforts we're still afforded, even now, in quarantine: our lights are sti ...more
What an pensive book, given that it's about the end of the world as we know it.
