Meg asked this question about Earth Abides:

why is it so boring?

Andrew Wilson One of my favorite books. I'd have been maybe 10 or 11 when I first read it and then lost it for many years. A re-read as an adult was captivating.

The author creates a world and then looks at Ish's place in it. We understand something of the why as well as the how - it isn't all killing, action, adventure. it is about a life lived after apocalypse. Reading this book as a kid shaped my thinking.

Boring, no, not at all.(less)
