World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks
Did not finish book.
DNF 60%
It's just . . . boring. I'm sorry. Basically every speaker is unpleasant or grating or pretentious and comes across as impossible to like, the entire text reads like someone read a geopolitics textbook alongside a zombie story and threw them together, the military jargon is so unbelievably dull, and the whole book is just too bleak to find any enjoyment in (which, I get is sort-of the point, but . . . God).
