Book!
My COVID-19 reading list:
1. "Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic" - David Quammen
2. "World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War" - Max Brooks
3. "Le hussard sur le toit" (The Horseman on the Roof) - Jean Giono (written about events during the cholera out break in Europe)
4. "Love in the time of Cholera" - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
5. "The Masque of the Red Death" - Edgar Allen Poe
6. "The Plague" - Albert Chamus
7. "Dracula" - Bram Stoker
8. "Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales" - Brothers Grimm (ok… that one isn’t exactly in line with the other ones).
9. "The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror" - Mallory Ortberg
10. "From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Conceptual Framework for Liberation" - Gene Sharp (kind of apropos of today... in reverse…)
11. "The Book of General Ignorance" - John Lloyd, John Mitchinson (I though it was about Trump and his supporters... I was wrong... well only partially wrong...)
13. "The Post American World" - Fareed Zakaria
14. "Monster of God: The Man-Eating Predator in the Jungles of History" - David Quammen
I then started "Frankenstein; The Modern Prometheus" - Mary Shelley, but somehow I couldn't get in the groove of reading it... bored me to tears.
So I've moved on to "The Werewolf of Paris" - Guy Endore and "Carmilla" - Sheridan Le Fanu (a vampire story the predates Dracula).
