Got Another Book Already

I got a Borders gift card for Christmas, so even though I'm still reading Batman, I went looking for a book to read next. I ended up grabbing The Big Empty, but J.B. Stephens. It's written for a 7th grade and up audience, but a lot of good post-apocalyptic novels are kids' books (Z for Zachariah and the Lois Lowry books come to mind.)

It follows a group of teens through a near-future dystopian society one year after a plague wipes out 2/3s of the population; sounds promising. I didn't realize it when I bought it, but it's the first of a set of four books, each of which got decent, but not steller reviews on Amazon.

I really like those kinds of books though, and I'm looking forward to a quick read, so I think I'm going to like it. We'll see...

Doomorama.com is a place for me to keep track of the books I've read, and would like to read, in my favorite genre, Post-Apocalyptic Fiction.

If you've stumbled in, and are a fan of stories about The End of the World As We Know It, feel free to leave a comment or drop me an email at Doomorama @ Doomorama.com.

I'd especially like suggestions of Post-Apocalyptic books of any kind that I don't yet have listed here.

Thanks
