World War Z

Came out during the height of the 00’s zombie craze and was just so good. I’ve read it countless times in high school and revisit it now and then

Books that impact me (like Dune) would definitely find a place on my shelf.

World War Z by Max Brooks

It’s a collection of interviews with a U.N. news correspondent and various people who survived the zombie war. It’s great. He breaks it down into sections like pre-war, initial outbreak, all out war, on the offensive and post-war.

The stories range from a soccer mom down the street to a Chinese admiral on a nuclear sub.

As a side note the audiobook is fantastic and features a full cast but make sure you listen to the full version if you do the audio book because the original recording was abridged but still award winning

I’ve found myself reciting the litany against fear from Dune in situations where I become anxious.
