Carl Sagan, Contact. The movie with Jodie Foster was one of the worst screen adaptations, ever. This is another insight into human greed, fear and politics. Reading this book will explain why intelligent life from other worlds would want nothing to do with us!

In the depths of the Utah desert, long after the Flame Deluge has scoured the earth clean, a monk of the Order of Saint Leibowitz has made a miraculous discovery: holy relics from the life of the great saint himself, including the blessed blueprint, the sacred shopping list, and the hallowed shrine of the Fallout Shelter.
In a terrifying age of darkness and decay, these artifacts could be the keys to mankind's salvation. But as the mystery at the core of this groundbreaking novel unfolds, it is the search itself—for meaning, for truth, for love—that offers hope for humanity's rebirth from the ashe

If you want to immerse yourself in an old school science fiction, galactic spanning series...you owe it to yourself to read the Lensman Series by E.E. Smith. Total hoot to read and it only gets better book after book.

Burroughs' mother who forces her kid, August to live with the Finches, are maybe crazy but the mom is around the bend, I'd see it as a crapped out comedy more so over the fumbling sex, and indecisive kid.. a memoir by Augusten Burroughs not Steven King 3/10
Currently on International Salvage Law (1989) edition so cool by Oxford press, getting high on the ink smell ...don't you dare drop that roach .....lol
