What's The Last Book You've Read?


Recommended Posts

Kaya daw maraming maiitim sa Cainta coz the sepoys (soldier in Hindi) decided to settle here rather than go back to India. One of the most interesting and least known episode in our history.

somehow impressive... :thumbsupsmiley:

 

but dont also forget that indians (sikhs/sindhs) have also been migrating in large numbers to this country during this century...

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks

 

- undoubtedly the best and most plausible zombie book I've ever read. Very different from other zombie books because it doesn't just show the zombie apocalypse scenario from one point of view, it's written in a way that you get to see the whole world view on the crisis. You get to see how social, economic. political, and cultural aspects affect such a scenario. You see how the social order is turned upside down, and how geopolitical factors come into play into furthering an unusual adversary.

 

The book is also written in the Pulitzer Prize winning style of Studs Terkel's The Good War and is a pretty worthwhile effort, considering all the legit research Brooks' got into while doing the book.

 

This book will scare you, but not in the ghosts and ghouls kind of way.

 

I highly recommend it.
