Heat 2 (origin story) by Michael Mann. No, I haven’t read it yet but goddamn if it’s anywhere close to as good as the movie Heat I’m going to love it!

I have given up on Riddley Walker, by Russell Hoban, although I consider it a brilliant book. I just could not struggle with the language anymore.
But it is easily the most original and interesting post-apocalyptic novels I've ever, er, tried. Previously I would have said A Canticle for Leibowitz was the best, but no, this was far more sophisticated and profound.
It was simply unreadable.
I encourage others to try. If you can do it I promise you a great journey.Cornell University

Just finished it and it was good. I assume they will do a mini-series instead of movie.Originally posted by solovsfett View PostOriginally posted by BobbyBrady

Nemesis, by Philip Roth. Short novel set in a Jewish community near Newark in the midst of the polio epidemic (and WW2) in 1944. Haven’t read Roth in a while and just randomly pulled this down from my shelf for a quick read. I have some personal experience with the epidemic’s effect on a stoic midwestern Scandinavian community, quite different from the Jewish guilt-driven sense of personal ownership his main character takes of the personal suffering caused by the virus. For obvious reasons, I have an outsiders view of all Roth’s work, but I’m glad I picked it.Comment
