Ok...I want to read novels and I saw a few on these forums here a while ago, but I can't find them anymore by using search.
Anyway, does anyone know some good titles for me to read with a sort of fallout feel of nuclear holocaust story stuff in it? I have the movie "The Day After" and I really liked that one...so books with that kind of stuf and/or fallout of course
Uh...the first couple hundred pages of The Stand by Stephen King aren't too bad. Then he starts interjecting a lot of stupid good and evil bullshit about old black women who are uneducated and deaf people with one eye. No, I'm not making any of that up. Fucking coked up retard...
I found a book called Nuke Rebuke. It's a collection of short stories, artwork, and ...poems...ugh... sang to the tune of bunny-loving college bum-chasers.
Neat to read, though.

Well, since Hammer added a book that isn't pos apoc but good nontheless, I figure I'll do the same.
The Caveman's Valentine by George Dawes-Green.
And on The Stand: I just wish King could get over his fear of black people who passed middle school and add one that doesn't act like Aunt Jemima or Morgan Freeman from Driving Miss Daisy. He's got some sort of problem where if he has black people in his books they HAVE to be uneducated or get seriously injured. And I'm pretty sure the deaf guy lost one of his eyes during the course of a story (I remember him wearing an eye patch). Randall Flag should be president.
Road side picinic is a pirtty good book, it's what the game s.t.a.l.k.e.r. oblivion lost is based off of.

I just remembered this book I read in highschool called Z for Zachariah. It's a good read, and my English teacher at the time told us all to check out The Day After. Kinda the same atmosphere. That's really what sparked my interest in survival in a post apocalyptic world. Before that I didn't think life was an option after nuclear war.
Timegod's World-End of the world, rebuilding, and technofied norse myth,really odd, may not be for everyone The Forever hero-not so much about the end of the world, but about one man's quest to rebuild it, sci-fi-space epic, immortal guy, really nice. On The beach-Not sure if I got the title right, about the last few people on earth after a nuclear holocaust,only Australia is left, because of wond currents or something.Really a downer, even for an apocalypse book. Deathlands series-A whole slew of books set in a very fallout-esque world.Only read a few, but I liked what I read, mutants, underground bastions of technology, time travel, guns,knives, giant spiders.....wait a tic, it pretty much exactly like fallout.IF you enjoy Fallout, this is it in book form,mostly anyway.I like 'em.
Life is like cheap whiskey, it's mostly bad, and leaves a shitty taste in your mouth, but it's better then nothing.
The only Frank Herbert I've ever read is the Dune series, and that's absolutely amazing, so probably? I picked up and read the first page of some other book and it seemed a lot like Dune - at least stylistically - so I donno?

No dude, first of all it sucks, secondly, it's not even post-nuke.
The Death Gate Cycle, on the other hand, could be considered post apocalyptic, though not in the ordinary sense. Anyone else read it? (I cannot possibly recommend it more)
