Re: What are you reading?
 

I recently read Earth Abides by George R. Stewart.

It deals with the aftermath of a plague that wipes out most of humanity.

Nothing very original there although it might have been in 1949 when it was written.

However it is a great example of the story tellers/writer's art. I have not been so fortunate to enjoy a book so much for ages.

Highly recommended. :)

Your description reminds me of Nevil Shute's 'On the Beach'.
I have a sneaky feeling that 'Earth Abides' may be a more sophisticated read :D and will get hold of a copy once i have stopped wallowing in DDM :)

Trying to work out if I can wait for the paperback of that...
Though I have ordered a kindle, so as soon as that arrives, I may give in and get it

It's only £9 odd for the hardback on Amazon - go on, you know you want to.

I've just read "Blood, Sweat and Tea" on Kindle for Mac (it was free on the kindle store) and I'm now reading the second book "More Blood, Sweat, and Another cup of Tea" (also free on the kindle store)

I've just purchased "The Grand Design" by Stephen Hawking - part funded by my CF Christmas Compo 2009 £5 voucher which I hadn't used yet! :)
