it was amazing
bookshelves: male-identified-authors, social-distance-reading

The banality of zombie apocalypse, beautifully rendered. Reading this book was something like reading a book about housecleaning, if housecleaning were to have life-and-death consequences.

Juniper i like colson whitehead a lot, but i have stayed away from this novel because of the zombie thing.


Lark Benobi It was my first Colson Whitehead book. I have The Intuitionist on my shelf and plan to read it soon. On another topic completely while I have you on my home page...I just learned about the "CANADA READS" tournament this morning--how you must love living in a cultured country!

Sag Harbor was a read i loved, and great for summer!

heh - canada reads is awesome. you can stream it online, or listen online (or through podcasts post-show, i think) from anywhere in the world, so you can totally see what it's like in 2016 (or go back in the archives for past year's). if it's okay to say, i co-moderate the CBC books' group here on GR (CBC is the broadcaster/creator of canada reads). in the group, we have some great canada reads chatting each year., among members from all over. https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

Greg I'm too stressed out about trump buying Greenland by selling Alaska to Russia. A global pandemic? Not for me today.
