Very The Stand like but I like Swan Song a lot more. And that's coming from a big Stephen King fan.

Agreed. There is something about that book that resonates with me.

Checked out The Dog Stars from my local library, pretty good so far.

I just finished 1984... man what a fantastically haunting book. And I love how

Spoiler

it pretty much foreshadows something bad happening to Winston from the very beginning, but I honestly did not see the whole shop owner turned Thought Police scenario, even though I probably should have. That whole ending sequence was great... the meeting up with Julia again, the understanding of why the previous 3 'traitors' in the book started crying after hearing the chestnut song; It was quite depressing at the end but I'm sure that was the pont.

Either way it cost me about 4 bucks and I'm very glad to have found this thread. That being said - I have A Brave New World and I Am Legend sitting here. Any suggestions on which to start first?

I liked I Am Legend a bit more. Plus, I Am Legend is closer to post-apocalypse where Brave New World is just dystopia.

 

[zsswimmer]

Yeah I was thinking about starting I Am Legend first because of that. Plus I've only seen the movie, which I thought was nothing special, and apparently it does no justice at all for the book.

I am reading through One Second After. It is the worst book I have ever read. Aside from the illogical story, coincidences, possibilities that the author created it is extremely poorly written. The only redeeming factor is the unintentionally hilarious, 'but this is America' bits.
