Location: UK		I've only read 4 books so far for this challenge,but they have all been great reads. Finally read Leigh Brackett's classic The Long Tomorrow,which,predictably,back in 1955 wasnt even nominated for any awards,but now is up there with the best. An even handed look at a post nuclear world terrified by any thought of a resurgence in the tech that destroyed the world,but where minds still thirst for knowledge. Brackett skilfully embeds her themes within the conflicts her characters face,bringing humanity to the dilemmas,and no didactic answers. Impressive,so glad I finally got round to reading it.
