A few days ago, I posted an article from the New York Times about people buying a lot more Romance because in these hard times, a book with a guaranteed happy ending is a great choice for many readers.
However, there is also the flip side to that argument. In these tough times, some people want to read about how much worse it could be. For those readers I offer this list of Post-Apocalyptic fiction from Abe Books.
Readers, take your pick.
(For the record I chose door number 2.)
I chose the latter as well, although I prefer to think of them as survival manuals.
