Since the thread was started, the post-apocalyptic graphic novel Y: The Last Man (Brian Vaughan and Pia Guerra) was published; it’s in 10 parts, and talks about the aftermath of a plague in which all the men die. No idea how, or if, this relates to the Shelley book (which I actually didn’t know about until reading this thread).
Anyway, I liked much of it quite a bit, and I know people who really adore it. My biggest problem was that the origin of the plague is never explained to my satisfaction, though I guess this is supposed to mimic real-life, or something.
I’m on Librarything, Either as Auntbeast or Saintmaya. I’ve added a hotlink from my page to yours. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! Still working on some formatting.
Just to add some meat to the post. The book “Where Late The Sweet Bird Sings” has to be the worst book title/content combo ever. It has a lot about cloning to repopulate. I highly, highly recommend it.
I think my favorite so far is “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy. Desperately depressing.
I’m trying to remember the name of the book about a girl that could make things grow again. It was exceptional also.
