Yet another thing I will have to read.<br /><br />I'm familiar with <i>Earth Abides</i>, but similarly need to read it.<br /><br />Ah, well. Something to do after finishing Heinlein, right?S.

I found some consolation in the fact that even our worst efforts probably won't leave any permanent damage...after some 10,000 years or so, but still. <br /><br />Another brilliant (fiction) book on that topic is Earth Abides by George R. Stewart. The focus is more on how humans and human society will adapt after being almost wiped out, but Stewart also looks at the way animals and nature in general will change.???https://www.blogger.com/profile/00467285279627231933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101220466181178382.post-23593309519360548672011-11-14T19:42:31.153-05:002011-11-14T19:42:31.153-05:00I thought it looked neat when it aired, and then f...I thought it looked neat when it aired, and then forgot all about it. Maybe I didn't realize it was an ongoing series?<br /><br />Anyway, yeah, I'm on board to watch it. The series strikes me as the sort of thing that would run out of steam quickly, but the pilot was interesting enough that I'd be willing to at least give it a try.S.

I suddenly feel as though I'm not doing my job correctly. I love that series. It gives me such awful panic attacks, but is quite possibly one of the most fascinating TV shows ever.<br /><br />Thought 2: COLISEUM CATS = :D<br /><br />Thought 3: MAGIC TOMB CATS = :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151444793904730013noreply@blogger.com
