Reading through the Apocalypse
Two years ago, I sent Seamus a box of books for his birthday. (I have to admit that I sent him nothing this year, and I still feel guilty. I need to get my act together and send that boy some ammunition or something…). Anyway, the theme of the books was uniformly post-apocalyptic. Thus, it included the following books:
I think there was another one in there possibly, but I don’t remember. If I’d thought about it, I would also probably have included The Stand by Stephen King.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was any repository or list of all the best post-apocalyptic literature. I think it’s pretty obvious that most of it is going to be science fiction and, a google search, turned up this list. But I really want to find other books. Anybody out there have any good suggestions?
- Z for Zacharia
- A Canticle for Liebowitz
- Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horsewoman
- Alas, Babylon
