Awesome, Cowdom, I've never encountered anyone else who has read Alas Babylon. It is very good. I read it about every 2-3 years. Reply #26. Aug 04 09, 9:35 PM |

Hey......I also read "Alas, Babylon", many years ago. It was pretty good. How about "Failsafe".....now that is a scary book. Reply #27. Aug 13 09, 10:43 AM |

Bubnel.....try giving, "The Mists of Avalon" a read. For me it was the kind of book that I didn't want to end. The Arthurian legend, but written from the women's point of view by "Marion Zimmer Bradley". Awesome. Also, "Ride the Wind" about Cynthia Ann Parker who was captured by the Comanche and lived as one of them for 25 years. Her son Qahah became the last free Comanche chief. Reply #28.

I'm kicking myself. I should have remembered "The Mists of Avalon". The rest of the stories in that series are good but nothing tops that one. Reply #29. Aug 13 09, 2:16 PM |

rayven80.....I felt the same. Another series of books that, for me, kind of deteriorated as they progressed, (though they were also very good), was, "The Clan of the Cave Bear". "The Valley of the Horses" was excellent, but after that I lost interest. Reply #30. Aug 13 09, 4:27 PM |
