> [@The\_wind\_of\_my\_soul](#): > > …I just finished _Into the Wild_ [by Jon Krakauer] last night. It was a great book. The author has an interesting way of telling the story: out of chronological order, and occasionally veering from the main story entirely to tell other interesting stories that are only tangentially related, but it worked. I was engrossed in whatever story he happened to be telling for that chapter… Yes, I enjoyed it too. This thread may interest you: [Into The Wild](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/into-the-wild/421460) > [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > Almost finished with **World War Z** by Max Brooks. What a unique and fascinating and genuinely terrifying read. It subverts traditional narrative form by telling the story through a series of survivor interviews, people from all walks of life, laypeople, soldiers, those from every level of government all over the world. It’s not like we’ll ever have a Zombie apocalypse but this book makes it frighteningly clear how unprepared we are for a global disaster… Also a good read. The movie is quite different but also worth a look, I’d say. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/khadaji-s-whatcha-reading-thread-may-2021-edition/941252)._
