Status Updates From World War Z: An Oral Histor...

Don’t ask

مگر می‌شود فقر را حل کرد؟ مگر می‌شود مشکل جرم و جنایت را حل کرد؟ مگر می‌شود بیماری و بیکاری و جنگ و مرض‌های اجتماعیِ دیگر را حل کرد؟ فقط باید خداخدا کنید یک‌جوری قابل مدیریت بشوند که مردم بتوانند به کار و زندگیِ خودشان برسند. این حرف‌ها بدبینی و کلبی‌مسلکی نیست؛ بلوغ است. نمی‌شود جلوِ باران را گرفت. فقط می‌شود سقفی ساخت که امیدوار باشید چکه نکند یا دست‌کم روی سرِ مردمی که می‌خواهند به شما رای بدهند،‌ چکه نکند.

ترس از پیری، ترس از تنهایی، ترس از فقر، ترس از شکست. ترس پایه‌ای‌ترین احساسی است که ماها داریم. ترس بدوی است. ترس خریدار دارد. شعارِ زندگی‌ام همین بود: " ترس، خریدار دارد. "

به آدم یاد می‌دهند چطور جلوِ دشمن دربیاید و مقاومت کند، چطور از ذهن و روحش مراقبت کند. اما یاد نمی‌دهند چطور جلوِ خودی‌ها مقاومت کنی؛ خصوصاً آدم‌هایی که خیال می‌کنند می‌خواهند "کمک" کنند "حقیقت" را ببینی.

Book so good i missed my train stop lmao

fighting for my life to care about this book

fighting for my life to care about this

Completely different style to the movie. Every chapter is told by a different, unrelated character but connected by the events in this fictional Earth

LFG

Very cool! I spent most of my work day with this playing on audiobook and it is such a cool format, almost as a collection of short stories instead of one storyline. What great cast, too.

unfortunately going to dnf this

took me three and a half hours to read 15% of this book. its not like its hard, i'm just not interested and all of the many accounts sound like they are the same person and it is making it really hard to be interested in what they are saying.

this book is really dragging on

One of the best books I’ve ever read

Eh, so far struggling to see what others love so much about the audiobook/story. Is it just that they have a full cast with accents? Because the story itself is kind of... boring so far.

Cool that it’s got a journalistic take on the apocalypse

No puedo dormir así que supongo que toca quedarse leyendo cosas de zombies hasta colapsar mentalmente

I’m loving this book but the end of chapter twist of “He was actually talking to a white guy the whole time” is insane.

Rereading this after first trying in high school. I thought it was boring back then but holy shit I was an idiot.

I just love Zombies. And this book, imho, is one of the best Zombie books ever.

The farther I get into this book, the more proofreading errors I notice, and it annoys me because who knows how many mistakes I've missed? But even so, this is excellent.

Not what I was expecting but not bad necessarily

This is so fkn cool. Listening to the audiobook and its documentary style with multiple actors and sound effects. It’s scary!

yet another audiobook to accompany me on hour long bike rides
