Whoops, have I not marked Earth Abides as read yet? How slack of me. I think I read it back on 1 July. Liked it. Marking it off now, so consider me finished.


Congrats, Weesam! You and me, we did it the way I originally intended it, didn't we? I thought Earth Abides was a hell of a good book. Really glad I read it. And I struggled hard with The Last and First Men, but it won me over in the end.


It was tough for me doing it that way. I kept wanting to read ahead, and it was hard to stop myself and only read one a month. Got there in the end though. I can't do it this way for the next 12, as there is only one of them I haven't read, and I don't really want to do a re-read of the others just yet.

Last and First Men was very strange. I really am not sure what to make of it, but I do admire the author for writing it. I agree that Earth Abides was good. Much better than I expected given my general apathy towards the apocalyptic sub-genre.
