I just finished listening to The Passage by Justin Cronin. It's a strange combination of apocalyptic/sci-fi/vampire. I enjoyed the whole thing. Not sure if it would stand up as well to a second closer read. There are a number of loose ends that I assume are lead-ins to the next in the series. On the whole, I liked it.

I just started reading To Kill a Mockingbird. I haven't read it since middle school I think, and I didn't get or forgot most of it.

I made it a third of the way into The Passage. It kept reminding me of better books.

It kept my interest well enough to request the second one from the library but now I want your suggestions of better books too

I mean, it's The Stand.

It's Lucifer's Hammer.

It's Footfall.

It's Damnation Alley.

It's I Am Legend.

it's so many earlier, better books.

Lucifer's Hammer is one of the best end of the world books out there. That reminds me, I should re-read that one.

Footfall. Wow, that is a book I have not thought about in 2-3 decades.

Thanks. Lucifer's Hammer is the only one of those I've read yet.
