This is the book that started my love of the post apocalyptic genre. I agree on the racism issue. I see people excuse it in classical books as being “accurate for the time period”. The same is true here. Trying to pretend racism didn’t exist in the past won’t make it go away.

I have a pretty good list of post apocalyptic books if you ever need any suggestions

I’ve enjoyed this book many times through my life so far and have found new things to appreciate with each reading.

I’ve seen lots of people online recommend Doomsday Book and the other time travel books. However I have never seen anyone recommend Lincoln’s Dreams. It was my first Connie Willis book and I loved it. Although I can’t tell you why since it’s so hard to categorise. I’ve tried a few times to describe it. “There’s this guy researching the Civil War for a book and this girl who keeps having dreams about the Civil War and, umm……”. But it won the John Campbell Award.

Have you ever tried listening to audiobooks?
