Apocalyptic fiction Books

Tried to get Unintended Consequences, Patriots, and Lights Out at the library but they didnt have any of them so I ordered Lights Out by David Crawford from Amazon and Holy Smokes what a big ars book, 598 pages of very small print so I guess I'll be busy with this one for a while....I loved One Second After so I hope this one is as good....

Get cha a Kindle man. Took a long time for me to accept it but I love the thing now. I got one of the old ones with the keyboard. but it's sweet.

When you want a new book you can shop on line and download it right to the Kindle. Save a ton of books on the thing if you want to go back and reread.

I have nearly all of the survivalist and Ashes series books on it. A member here help track down a bunch of them I couldn't find.

I'm computerally challenged and doing good just to be able to post here so I could never figure out a smart phone or a Kindle....I'm a tired old analog man forever lost, dazed and confused living in a new fangled crazy digital world.....

If anybody hasn't read Patriots, I can pass it on to you. Good book. It is print version, I don't have one of those new fangled reading thingies. Free to good home.

Hey Bawanna, I have a Kindle Fire HD that was given to me by Schwab when I made a deposit to my account a couple of years ago. I read a book or two a week, but I hate to read on the kindle or to read a paperback. I prefer a "good ole" hardback that will stay open on the desk or table or in my lap without me holding it. I do use the Kindle, but I use it for carrying files or music videos, because it's a lot smaller than my laptop.

All I do is read on mine, it's an early version, wife wanted to get me a Fire, she has a newer one. I like mine cause I can see it in the daylight outside. Her's is like a phone you can't see it.
Her's is nice at night since it lights up where as mine don't.

I like that I can push a button to turn the page instead of swiping the screen and maybe it turns maybe it don't.

I don't even like a laptop without a mouse, that screen swiping stuff drives me muggsy.

I about wore out my Kindle Fire but the print kept getting smaller as time went by. I could make the print larger but only get a half sentence on a line. When they went on sale I got a Samsung 10" which has been good as I can read okay while still in portrait orientation (book like for you Mr. B.). Before all that I read hundreds of hard back books that my brother in law collected. Had boxes of them stacked in my study and couldn't get to anything. Now I have a few K's of free ebooks from Amazon on my reader and it's much better. It is hard to read in daylight no doubt about it, but then so was a paper book for me.

Just finished reading "Lights Out" by David Crawford....Long but very good book, really enjoyed it and it really makes you think about just how close to chaos we are if even the smallest thing took down the internet or disrupted the food/water supply....If anybody wants the book (it's in fair to good shape) bought used on Amazon I'll ship it to you for the amazing low low price of free....Muggsy has first dibs on it if he wants to read it since he's gonna be laid up for a bit but if he doesn't and anybody else does just PM me your address...

Here is a TRUE BOOK [non-fiction] that can open your eyes! called Infiltration by Paul Sperry.

I don't know how I missed this thread but the ultimate apocalyptic book I've read is a post apoc book from long before the Terminator movies called "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream." Truly an end of the world book in horrific fashion.

And the very first one I ever read was Steven King's "The Stand".

Timely resurrection of thread. Just began rereading Orwell's 1984. Mebbe 50 years since the first time.
