It’s the end of the world as we know it… this
morning R.E.M.’s earwormish tribute to the end of the world played on the radio
and sparked a thought. I quite liked The
Hunger Games trilogy and the film
adaptations. I’m in the midst of reading Divergent.
I love post-apocalyptic television
shows like Revolution. I am also really moved by this short film “Love
2062” or love after the end of the world, directed by Roman
Demongeot in collaboration with musicians De Andria &
Ghisal. A dark, futuristic and post-apocalyptic short film in which
humanity is using drugs and virtual reality to share moments of pleasure…
But, I am a reader first. I much prefer the story to
be told on the page first, and there is something missing for me in the Young
Adult post-apocalyptic novels. I need something more. I have a hard time
finding something more adult. It might just be me, but I need some clash of
bodies while worlds collide and the earth ends as we know it. I would love to
read about two characters who come to find each other and love at the end of
days.
So I am asking. Do you have a favorite New Adult or
Adult post-apocalyptic book that is flying under the radar? If so, help a geek
girl who needs a passion filled post-apocalyptic fix. Please leave me a comment
with the title and author so I can read it. I’ll also compile a list and post
it here.
