What if the world as we knew it was ending, and all we could do was carry on with our daily tasks and routines? Welcome to our lively discussion on Ruman Alam's 'Leave The World Behind', a thrilling tale of a family's vacation in the Hamptons turning into a peculiar series of apocalyptic events. We unravel the surreal narrative, from the sudden deer migration to flamingos drinking from the pool, and ponder the way mundane tasks are used as a coping mechanism for impending disaster. Also, we take a moment to reflect on the profound influence celebrities have on our book choices and question if these endorsements are always beneficial.We also don't shy away from critiquing 'Leave the World Behind'. We delve into issues like flat characters, media consumption, and societal points raised by the book. Hear us out as we grapple with the idea of characters struggling to think for themselves amidst the clamor of societal noise. We explore how life's challenges often push us to search for deeper meanings, much like in the movie 'Don't Look Up'. However, we firmly believe that reading is a personal experience, so we encourage you to pick up the book, form your own opinions, and remain open to the perspectives of others. It’s a roller-coaster of a book, and we're rating it on a unique scale of personal pan pizzas. So, are you ready for a thought-provoking literary journey?
