^ That sounds pretty interesting.  I just borrowed it for my Kindle.

[Gusington]

Yeah I thought it appropriate for right now.

Added it to my ever-growing wish list

If you want to read something about an engineered medical apocalypse with zombies, read Under a Graveyard Sky.  I have read the series several times and it is excellent.  The audio books are also very good.

[Pete Dero]

Love in the Time of Corona by Gabriel García Márquez (2020 edition)  8).

Earth Abides is also a good post civilization book.

I think I will do that. Ever since I took the audio book version of Red Storm Rising with me to Cuba, I am hooked on this format.

Have to admit I am not enjoying The Passage. Not because of the post-apocalypse (well maybe a little) but it is overly detailed and really unnecessarily long. It's about 850 pages long and feels like it could have been half that length. Struggling to finish. Won't be reading the sequels. Oh well...next!

I finished up Vol. 1 of Churchill's The World's Crisis recently, and before starting Vol.2 I've started Vol.5 on the East Front, since it serves as a giant one-volume appendix of what was going on over there across the other volumes. So I'll continue on there until the end of 1914, and then take Vol.2 in batches going forward. Kindle makes this easier than it otherwise would be (though I own all the books physically, too).  8)

I'm starting "A Journal of the Plague Year" by Defoe.  I'm interested to see if there are any insights into our current situation.

[Gusington]

^I've been looking into reading that now too.

I am almost done with Longerich's biography of Hitler at 1000 pages.  Then it's into a few Chernobyl books.

Bought the first three of Osprey's "Modern African Wars" series and "The Anglo-Afghan Wars 1839–1919".

I also started reading Frank Herbert's "Dune" and I'm about 140 pages into that 700 page novel.

And still slowly reading "The Victorian City: Everyday Life in Dickens's London" by Judith Flanders for something different.

Is this your first read through?  I would like to know your thoughts if that is true.  And then again when you are done.
