I read this in high school, and then it was chosen for my book club. That famous first line could have you fooled and hoping for a great adventure. I had no trouble reading it in school because it was past 1984 and hadn't happened. The themes are too on point. I tried to get beyond the 14th page but couldn‘t. Not in this world 41 years later.

Just a reminder that October‘s #LosersClub read is #therunningman Put your library holds in now, search your shelves, or buy a new copy, and check back on or about October 1st, when we begin reading this one. Discussion will be at the end of the month! #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead #BookDiscussion

A very unique, dynamic comic. Lots of heavy themes and gruesome art. Not always easy to follow, but an interesting, post-apocalyptic world of religious oppression and the struggle to survive.

The Deluge is a climate fiction novel that spans from 2013 to the 2040s. It weaves together the lives of several interconnected individuals, each grappling with the escalating impacts of climate change. Markley presents a hyper-realistic portrait of a world ravaged by superstorms, wildfires, and social upheaval through a diverse cast, including scientists, activists, terrorists, and ordinary people.

When people leave funny notes in their library books 😜

This picks up where the first book left off and follows our protagonist as the world around her continues to devolve into further into violence and chaos. There are more events that feel uncomfortably prophetic, as well.

Dark, thoughtful, compelling, and haunting: this book and the prior one are two of the books I tend to think everyone should read.
