Have been out of the post-apocalyptic genre for a while

I put Contest on hold for a while, but only because I thought I had lost the book and moved on to something else.

I started The Big Empty, but it was really bad, even for young adult fiction.

So I looked around the house and came across a book that I grabbed at a used-book store a while back, The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett. It's turning out to be really good, though I had some family in town from the mainland, so didn't have much time to read over the last few weeks. I should finish it this week, I think.

Then unless I can find something that piques my interest, I think I'll give the Buck Rogers book a try.
