I agree - my TR pile is so out of control that I have given up on much of it. It is this pile of snow and every time I take a shovel full off the bottom it snow two more on top! - woes me - I guess if the worst problem I have is to many books to read I'm pretty well off!! As to the books - both are fantastic, and and both stuck with me for a long time. One similarity is that both books take place a bit of time after the actual disaster, and what caused the disaster is not discussed that much. The postman is rather different than other Post-apocalyptic books in that it really posits a path out of hell. It is by far the easiest and breezier read, and the author is actually one of my all time favorite authors - if you haven't read his uplift series you must add it to your list. Canticle is not as easy a read, but sticks with you for much longer. Without spoiling too much, it really deals with the whole "history repeating itself" adage. Being raised Catholic i also could see a lot of things that I could connect with that many non-catholics would not. Enjoy!😁

Hi Jim, I haven't read either of them (so many books, so little time) but I'm excited to do so. My stack of to-read books is out of control these days. Which did you enjoy more between the two?

Chris - really struck by your latest batch of "want to read." If you have not read Canticle or postman, I am very glad to see that you are planning to. Both rather old books, and certainly are dated in spots, but are also must read books for any sf fn.

Thanks for the friend-vite. Star Wars fans rule the world :D I hope we can chat books soon

Thanks, Martin. When you read it, I'd love to hear what you think.

Thanks for the friend invite Chris. I found your book on here when looking for suggestions for the Dystopian reading group I attend. I put it forward but wasn't at the meeting to argue in its favor so it didn't get selected this time, but I will put it forward next time we take a vote. I plan to read it before then though as it sounds pretty good, and seems to have some good feedback in the comments on here.

Thanks, Pamela! I'm glad you're enjoying it so much. And thank you for the support.

Thank you for the friend request Chris. It's been awhile since a book as grabbed my attention from the very beginning and even longer since I have read something that feels completely original (funny note; the last one was about the end of the world.) Thank you for that and I look forward to jumping into more of your books.

Hey Chris, thanks for the invite, enjoying The Hauntings of Playing God

Thanks for the invite!

Hi Samu, that's wonderful! Thank you for the support. When you do read it, I'd love to hear what you think.

Hey Chris! I actually just ordered The Man Who Watched the World End and can't wait to read it!

Thanks, John! Not just for the support, but the encouragement with the cats. I can't wait to hear what you think of my book when you're done. And I completely agree: writing is the easy part.

Hi, Chris, happy to be a friend and more than happy to give an apocalypse novel a go from a fellow Goodreads Author. I've read pretty much all the great and good with mixed feelings about some of them. I don't know about you but I find writing relatively easy; getting anyone to actually read the books after is the hard part. I'll post a review when I've read it. Good luck with the cats, by the way. Great project. John Wiltshire.

Hi Chris! thanks for the invite friend.Loking forward to read your books:)

Yes, Steinberg and his classic, "The Winter of Our Disconterg." : )

Nice new profile photo, Chris. And in good company too! I can make out Vonnegut, McCarthy, Coetzee, Steinberg :)

I didn't realize you were the author. I'm looking forward to reading it! Thanks.

Just saw you graduated from WMC/McDaniel.

Great! I can't wait to hear what you think of them. Definitely keep me updated with your thoughts. I always like to hear if there are specific parts readers particularly like or dislike as they read my books.

Thanks for the request :) I have it on my kindle ready to read as soon as I've finished 'The Rice Paper Diaries' (it's the book my local book club has chosen).

I have to say, I'm in awe of the fact that you have 5 works already published and your average rating is a PERFECT 5.0. That's amazing. You are obviously doing something right. Great job.
