Over the last 12 months I ve taken to something called narrative prophylaxis - protecting oneself with stories. I ve been reading different kinds of books - old, new, fiction, non-fiction. I toggle between formats - paperback, kindle, audio books.
One of the books I finished reading recently (actually, listening to on Amazon s Audible) is a shocker titled The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Plague in History by John M. Barry. Written in 2004, it s a brilliant, detailed account of the 1918 flu pandemic, that overlapped with the 1st world war.
