The Batlord

Never finished it but obviously. Calling it dystopian would be like calling a handjob an orgy.

Ever read On the Beach? Another classic post-apocalyptic novel. I had a terrible time reading the last chapter because of all of the tears streaming down my face. One of only a handful of novels to do that to me.

The Road and parts of Pet Cemetery being a couple others. (reading the latter about a month after Sherri was born was a mistake in hindsight)

Some other great PA books I've read:

The Stand
Swan Song
I Am Legend
World War Z
Lucifer's Hammer
One Second After
Wool
Childhood's End
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
Blindness
Earth Abides

We talked about it before but seriously one of the most engaging powerful and even if not entirely on point scientifically based on what we know now about meteorology it’s still a crucially important read.



And also The Road. Goddamn. Talk about a book that will bring you head to head with human nature and mortality. And Childhood’s End...****ing jaw dropping.

Don’t **** up and watch the movies first people.

I remember now. About your Spoiler, same for me. The last couple of chapters had me gutted deep.

ive been reading this interpersonal communications book a lot. reading each chapter a lot because the first quiz was a 40% and i read it once. got a 100% when i read the chapter 5 times, then now just only a 80% Wednesday when i read the chapter 3 times.

looks like im reading each chapter 5 times, since my data shows i just need to put in that extra hour (takes about 1/2 hour to read a chapter)

My favorite thing about that particular short story is that it inspired a character on One Piece.

I’ve been reading a lot lately and I’m out of anything interesting to read, does anyone have any recommendations? I don’t like any horror/thriller stuff.
