As if 6 challenges already aren’t enough.
Name: It’s The End Of The World II
Host: Becky
Dates: March 10, 2009 – October 9, 2009
Books Required: at least four
Read at least four books about “the end of the world.” This includes both apocalyptic fiction and post-apocalyptic fiction. There is quite a bit of overlap with dystopic fiction as well. The point being something–be it coming from within or without, natural or unnatural–has changed civilization, society, humanity to such a degree that it radically differs from “life as we now know it.” (Aliens, evil governments, war, plague, natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, hurricanes, depletion of resources, genetic manipulation, etc.)
My four books:
1. Life As We Knew It, Susan Beth Pfeffer
2. The Stand, Stephen King
3. Extras, Scott Westerfield or The Dead and the Gone, Susan Beth Pfeffer
4. The Handmaids Tale, Margaret Atwood (this is a reread, but it’s been years)

I think that ‘The Stand’ by Stephen King would be a perfect title for this challenge. I also think that it is one of his best pieces. Even though it is a whale of a book I truly enjoyed it.
