I think we all think about the end of the world or ourselves, if only briefly, at least once a day. We imagine how it will happen—quick, painful? With warning, time to prepare and make final rounds? We consume film, literature, and headlines that talk about it—because we love it. We think we will get the time off from work, lose our worries, lose our financial debts, our jury duties. If we lose these things, will we also lose our sense of⬇️

JenniferEgnor self? If we survive, will we retain our humanity? Humans have been obsessed with this ‘great escape‘ for as long as we have existed. Our oldest myths tell us that. We fantasize about the end—but when it comes, will we actually be ready for it? Will we accept it? What if it isn‘t the kind of end that we want? What makes one more terrible than another? With all we have done and continue to do to each other, do we deserve to go on existing? 1mo
JenniferEgnor Each chapter discusses a different way we think our doom will arrive, using art, literature, film, history, modern events. The world seems an uneasy place these days, with sociopaths in the halls of power. The real question is, what will we choose to do with what we have? 1mo

“Everybody dies, everything ends—but not now. Not now.”

This book covers the end of the world as we know it, or at least the end of humanity, and how that may come to pass. Chapters feature ways we‘ll go out like pandemics, nuclear weapons, climate change, overpopulation, war, cosmic events and more. Far from depressing, this was a fun look at the way humans have thought about the end of times over many years, through books, movies, etc.

AmyG Sounds fun 😳🤣 3mo
JenniferEgnor I was thinking about checking out this book when I saw it… 3mo
Chelsea.Poole @amyg ok, maybe the “fun” in my review wasn‘t the right word 😂 3mo

Defying Doomsday | Tsana Dolichva, Holly Kench

(2016) Here's a mostly-excellent collection of apocalyptic and postapocalyptic stories featuring protagonists with disabilities. Standouts for me are Stephanie Gunn's "To take into the air my quiet breath," about sisters with cystic fibrosis who survive a global plague; and John Chu's "Selected afterimages of the fading," about an apocalypse in which inattention causes the world to fade. I also quite liked Janet Edwards's "I will remember you."

I have several books that I own more than one copy. But I think Good Omens is the most with 5 physical copies and 2 audiobooks (one full cast version & the original version read by Martin Jarvis). Plus, I have the DVDs of Good Omens season 1 along with the Script Book.

RaeLovesToRead Did you back the graphic novel version on Kickstarter? I'm looking forward to it 🥰 1y
monkeygirlsmama I don't think I have more than one print copy of the same title, but I do have some in both print and digital format 1y
Bklover Okay maybe I should read this! 😊😉. Oh, and I have 4 copies of One Hundred Years of Solitude😉 (edited) 1y
