Guest Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 A Canticle For Liebowitz is a really good post apocalyptic sci-fi book. It's about a catholic monk hiding technology after much of it is destroyed by mobs angry at technology for WW3's heavy destruction. I think the whole idea of The Brotherhood of Steel is kind of an homage to the book of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starch Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Akira is post-apocalyptic. Not the movie, really (Although it does takeplace 30 years after World War III), but the manga very much is. The Manga is 6 volumes, at roughly 300-400 pages each. *SPOILERS*At the end of the third volume, Akira awakens and destroys the city, and the remaining three volumes take place in a super-city wasteland. If you are interested, of course buy it. But if you are interested for free, grab a torrent with the CBR files in it. Note: Comic Book Reader wasn't really designed for such large volumes (The average full american comic book is under 200 pages with all issues of a particular arc combined). All that means is that the pages start to "stick" about half-way through each volume. The OVA suck! :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redshift1979 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 You don't get much more post-apocalyptic than Stephen Kings' "Dark Tower" series. Seven novels of pure awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gligamesh Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 You don't get much more post-apocalyptic than Stephen Kings' "Dark Tower" series. Seven novels of pure awesome.Well, I thought Wizard and Glass was pretty lame.The rest were cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redshift1979 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I enjoyed it. I liked the Jonas character. You never really find any huge chunks of Rolands' past except there. The rest is just brief memories shared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gligamesh Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Eh. I had to try and stay awake through it.Jonas was alright, but I didn't really care about Roland's past and his old g/f.The first book was the best, imo.Also, you can pretty much skip book 2 since book one and book three pretty much cover every single thing in book two.I read 3 first, then 1, then 2 (a friend let me borrow 3...) and the majority of 2 was covered in 1 and 3... Not that it wasn't a good book. It is just a redundant book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skree000 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Funny enough I checked my books in my house, Yes, i actually own one or two... and came across Canticle for Leibowitz! Was just starting to read it, although the wording is a bit cryptic, im sure ill become accustomed to it soon... its been a while since i Read a book heheThe word 'iota' appears about 21 times on the first page alone, they really seem to enjoy that one, almost seems to be a blanket term they use to describe a 'thing' or noun heh.

RandianHero Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Ditto on The Road -- best book I've read in ten years. As for television, the short-lived series Jericho was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
