Got Another Book Already

I got a Borders gift card for Christmas, so even though I'm still reading Batman, I went looking for a book to read next. I ended up grabbing The Big Empty, but J.B. Stephens. It's written for a 7th grade and up audience, but a lot of good post-apocalyptic novels are kids' books (Z for Zachariah and the Lois Lowry books come to mind.)

It follows a group of teens through a near-future dystopian society one year after a plague wipes out 2/3s of the population; sounds promising. I didn't realize it when I bought it, but it's the first of a set of four books, each of which got decent, but not steller reviews on Amazon.

I really like those kinds of books though, and I'm looking forward to a quick read, so I think I'm going to like it. We'll see...
