I read Dead Wake when it first came out.
And I also read World War Z, which is fiction, right?
But it's written as a memoir.
And so you know the guy writing it survives because he's writing it.
And so knowing that, I could comfortably read the whole book without being worried the whole time that he was going to die because he didn't, because he was writing.
And so...
I actually really, really loved World War Z. I thought it was so fun and it didn't bother me at all being written as a memoir.
I think if it had been written like spooling it out as a story, I couldn't have read it because I would have been worried the whole time that he would have died.
I don't want my heartstrings to be plucked unnecessarily.
Uh-huh.
Oh, yeah.
I read it on an airplane.
It was a really long airplane ride and it was freezing cold on the airplane because sometimes they can be cold.
I'm reading this book about a cold adventure and it's so cold.
I will never forget that experience.
I'm pretty sure I noticed that too.
Because I have a good memory of reading that book.
I enjoyed the experience of it.
Now that you say that, that would be part of why I didn't mind it.
Because I knew people were going to die, but it was okay.
