Alas, Babylon is GRATE. But A Canticle for Leibowitz is practically poetic.


Both of these books are must reads.

Anybody here read James Michener's "Space" -- meaning the real book version and not the crappy miniseries?

For historicized fiction, that book was quite good. One of the main astronaut characters seemed like an illiterate Texas hillbilly -- but that was all an act, and he was actually very, very well read. And that character's favorite sci-fi work of all time was "A Canticle for Leibowitz".
