Apocalypse Now! 2017 Reading Challenge
Don't you ever just want to watch the world burn? Well, so do I! Let's have a nuclear campfire and read a bunch of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction together! Got your respirators on?
The Rules:
* Any genre of fiction is acceptable, so long as it focuses on the end of the world as we know it.
* Re-reads are okay, but you must have read the book more than five years ago or it must be a new edition.
* Dystopias only count if they follow the end of the world. (So Oryx and Crake counts, but The Handmaid's Tale does not because only the United States went to hell; the rest of the world is doing just fine.)
* Video game and RPG tie ins are absolutely acceptable as long as the Apocalypse is the focus (so Dark Sun novels are perfect, but Mechwarrior is not; Fallout, Wasteland and The Last of Us are perfect, but Mass Effect is not)
* This challenge was so popular last year, and people finished it so quickly, that this year I have decided to up the ante a little bit. The level requirements are increased, but hopefully not so that they're out of reach for the more casual reader.
See you in the wastelands; if we survive!
