Here's something I came across in my newspaper tonight.

Park To Host Major Stars
By Jane Smith

Conneaut Lake Park is an old amusement park that closed two years ago, located in NW Pennsylvania. The cast and crew of the new movie "The Road" including Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, and Robert Duvall will be filming a portion of the movie at the old park. The Dreamland Ballroom was burnt down not long ago caused by arson and will be in one of the shots, other shots will include the Boardwalk, Conneaut Hotel and the Beach Club. They are currently filming in Pittsburgh where I grew up and the final weeks of filming will be done in New Orleans.

Anybody read the Bible lately?

That's sort of why I like Earth Abides by George Stewart, it bucks the trend to some degree.

Not a "were gonna build it all back" ending!

It is sorta dated though, written in 1958.

Actually re-reading it currently, I found a translation I haven't read before, the "CSB" or "Christian Standard Bible" by Holman Bible Publishers.

Not to bad, sorta between a NIV and NKJV.

See, that's why I mentioned Revelations earlier.

It's for sure an interesting read, very artistically expressive historical book.

I always put that on my fiction shelf.
*ducks*

Don't forget "Farnham's Freehold" by Sci-Fi grandmaster Robert A. Heinlein. IMHO not one of his all-time best efforts, but still fits the genre under discussion.

Another favorite of mine is "Day of the Triffids" by John Wyndham. Giant walking flowers from space invade England in the 1950's. Gotta love it.

Oddly enough, that is one of the reasons why I loved that book. I thought it was very powerful and beautifully written, even if it was incredibly bleak.

Thanks for the book recommendations, guys! I think I'll add these to my to-read shelf and the ETS Group on Goodreads.
