Post apocalyptic fiction

26. my suggestions

Here are some others that I've read.
The Disappearance, by Philip Wylie, 1951. An unexplained event puts all the women in one universe of Earth and all the men in another. Considering its date of publication, it's still very contemporary.
On the Beach, by Nevil Shute, 1957
Left Behind, by Tim LaHaye, 1995. I read Left Behind and because I’ve been reading science fiction and fantasy since grade school, thought it was not only preachy but overly simplistic in its writing. I jumped ahead and read Apollyon (1999) and that one with the scenes of the plagues of huge metallic sentient locusts made my hair stand on end!
A Gift Upon the Shore, by M.K. Wren, 1990
A Creed for the Third Millennium, by Colleen McCullough, 1985
Malevil, by Robert Merle, 1972
Logan's Run, by William F. Nolan, 1967, and Logan's World, 1977
The Day of the Triffids, by John Wyndham, 1951, and The Night of the Triffids, by Simon Clark, 2001
1632, by Eric Flint, 2000, and umpteem sequels and fan-written stories
The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood, 1985. What is people’s obsession with this novel? I read it when it was first released and didn’t care for it at all. I took a college English class in the 1990s (just for fun!) about women in science fiction, and the professor had us read it. I joined a book discussion group at the local library and this was the first book the librarian had the group read!
Last Light, by Terri Blackstock, 2006, and three sequels. She is a Christian writer and a contemporary of LaHaye’s, but not as overly dramatic. Her books are about a family in a suburb of Atlanta. All electricity has quit working, as has any other type of engine. You don’t learn the reason until one of the later novels. Obviously her books were written before the series Revolution.

When the series Jericho was airing, we had a discussion about other books, movies and TV shows about the umpteem ways the world can end. Here is a link to it. However, I still have not remembered the name of the novel set at the Winchester House!
