Wren? That's an apocalypse/plague story that I still think of, years later. And it definitely has the gritty stuff that Pfeffer left out of Life As We Knew It. <BR/><BR/>I'm just incredibly geeked out to think there's someone else out there who enjoys Nun books AND post-apocalypse fiction!<BR/><BR/>LibraryLadyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9293137.post-73244847683650403642007-05-18T19:31:00.000-04:002007-05-18T19:31:00.000-04:00A SEQUEL?

Thanks for the info!<BR/><BR/>I'm usually iffy on Bill Bryson; I think I wouldn't like to read his books, but they make pretty good audiobooks, actually. There's a difference in what I'm looking for in one vs. the other. I loved the audiobook for <I>A Short History of Nearly Everything</I>. But yeah, if you weren't impressed, I don't know if trying another will help.LibraryHungryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981967495068772927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9293137.post-82578801616676218032007-05-18T09:54:00.000-04:002007-05-18T09:54:00.000-04:00I read Life as We Knew It several months ago and I...I read Life as We Knew It several months ago and I am haunted, HAUNTED by it still. I mean, to the point where I was scruntinizing my pantry and wardrobe all winter, wondering if I had enough food and clothes to stay alive/keep warm. It doesn't help that I live in PA, where the book was set. I read on a kidlit librarian blog that Pfeffer is planning a companion novel, which I am both frightened of and dying to read.<BR/><BR/>I also read my first Bill Bryson book last week (his memoir of growing up in Des Moines). I liked parts of it, but overall was not impressed enough to search out another. Does he exaggerate/use hyperbole that much in all of his works?<BR/><BR/>LibraryLady in PAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
