The Zombie Survival Guide. it’s not so much narritive but it’s interesting.
I read this one last year.
Good book.
Don’t know of another book written in the same style.
ack – The Good War!
Damned kids today. It’s not like it’s an obscure book, it pretty much defined a form of non-fiction. Max Brooks was intentionally adopting Studs Terkel’s narrative style of this specific book to lend realism to an impossible scenario. It could almost be considered a parody of The Good War.
He used the same trick with the Zombie Survival Guide, which was presented in such a deadpan manner that it actually got me to consider the defensibility of my house against the undead. Pretty neat.
But seriously, dude, read a book. Something without unicorns or spaceships on the cover.
i almost posted this, lol. written by the same guy as zombie survival. his name is max brooks. you know mel brooks son. anyways theres a great book called monster island. its a about a un guy that has to get aids medicine to some one in africa and ends up in new york. the world is plauged with zombies. its a great book. heres the website. www.brokentype.com/monster/

Sorry man, I do not read non-fiction.
Reality is too depressing.
ditto
The Bible.
@ashley99
I’ve read that, and the two sequels as well, the first story was the strongest imho.
@jeffapotimus
I read like 8 books a month, and I have a subscription to booksfree, so there’s plenty of reading being done… unfortunately it doesn’t look like they have “The Good War” in their library
@ack, Alkaios
The book has a happy ending.
**Spoiler alert!**
We win. Read the book.

That’s sort of sad. They’d probably have it if it was made into a movie. I’ll bet they have ‘The Right Stuff’
BTW, Brad Pitt bought the rights to WWZ. Apparently it’s in ‘Pre-production’ whatever that means.
