Science Fiction

I've read way more than these, but these are just some in the past few years.


Oryx & Crake, and The Year of the Flood - Margaret Atwood
The Road - Cormac McCarthy
The bleakest of the post-apocalyptic books I've read, yet one of the most gripping. I couldn't put it down.
Julian Comstock - Robert Charles Wilson
The Age of Miracles - Karen Walker
Very different idea - the world's rotation starts slowing. I think she could've done more with this book, but still, it was
pretty good. Told from the viewpoint of a young girl in SoCal
The Dog Stars - Peter Heller
Another interesting idea - the protagonist still has a functioning small plane, and a fair amount of aviation fuel.
The Last Policeman - Ben Winters
The world is ending in 6 months (meteor? - haven't read this one yet), and although people are committing suicide as a
result, a cop still cares, and the story opens as he investigates a 'suicide' that he really thinks is a murder.
