Do you know some good post apocalyptic books?
I only know these books, although I have not yet read:
- The Road
- The Postman
- Il Cavallo Venduto, by Scerbanenco (I don't know if there is a international version of this book)
- The Shannara Saga
- A Canticle for Leibowitz
- Player One
- The Long Tomorrow
Ask in the /sff/ general. They might help you there.
Ps: don't read ready player one, I dare you.

You're not the only one who tells me to avoid that book. Is this really so bad?

The forced references get old really quickly. The author seems intent on drilling into your brain that he grew up as a nerd in the 80's because every single page has some reference to a movie, song, arcade game, or some other facet of 80's nerd culture. Not only that but the target audience seems to be middle/high-school so the writing style is simple and the plot is pretty thin.

i liked "Eternity Road" from McDevitt
"April 10, 2079 the trains started running empty"
Like i said in the now dead /sffg/, Metro 2033, it's fucking great.
Also, anybody know if i need to read 2034 to understand the plot of 2035? Planning ahead here.
