Today has just been a War of the Worlds day for me, lol.
Re-reading the novel, watching the 2005 movie. Good shit, imo.
Read the book originally in middle school I think, and was fascinated by the movie as a kid, too.
Honestly the references YJ does to it are so great; “Uh, H.G. Wells?”, “The martians are coming, the martians are coming!”, the aliens in Failsafe.
(I’m trying to get myself back into reading and had the book on my Kindle, so.)
