    The last time we had a global pandemic?

Random, flipping, aside, only cause Hubski is kind of slow today, the news is just a continuous cycle of awful, and I'm practically unemployed and bored out of my mind at this point.

Apocalyptic and post apocalyptic stories, (with the rare exception of a few gems like Mad Max, The Rover, Windup Girl, and Fallout 1, 2, and NV,) really aren't all that fun. But right now? Earth Abides seems like something to read again. As far as post apocalyptic literature is concerned, it's simple and arguably bucolic in its presentation, and that seems kind of nice right now. I think I'll tackle it this weekend, see how far I get.
