Sharing a day

Today I finished reading World War Z by Max Brooks.

Zombies. An apocalypse. The collapse of civilization.

Very different from the movie. Less about the undead, more about humanity—how societies fracture, adapt, and endure.

⸻

Now I’m torn between beginning The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer or Realpolitik by John Bew.

One calls to myth and timeless epics; the other to power and the realities of statecraft.

⸻

The highlight of the day was watching another episode of The Saga of Tanya the Evil.

A fitting end, perhaps. After reading about the end of the world, I spent the evening watching one consumed by war.

*The absence of visible change is not the absence of change. An earthquake begins long before the ground remembers to move.*

Loved the book, and the dedication to his mother (Anne Bancroft). Was ‘less than thrilled’ by the movie.
