just finished "wastelands" for last month's book group, which goes along with mom's latest reads in terms of genre. i am a big fan of post-apocalyptic movies so it's not surprising that i was a fan of the short story format. there are familiar names like orson scott card, cory doctorow, and stephen king in this collection. i think post-apocalyptic sci-fi can be difficult to take in large doses (like "the road"... what an intense book) so i liked the short story format because it was only 5-15 pages of feeling sorry for the characters, then moving on to the next, haha. overall i'd definitely recommend it. not something i'd pick up on my own but i'm glad it was chosen for the month's read.
