Lenny Bruce is not afraid
I have what many would probably consider a morbid fascination with post-apocalyptic literature. I don't think it is necessarily so, I think we often take our technology, modern medicine, and the privileges of civil society for granted and these books help me wonder what life would be like without. Since many of you are librarians and since collection development is such a bear I thought I would share this bibliography with you, for your files.
