Sep. 3rd, 2015 11:42 pmAfter the Apocalypse by Maureen McHugh (audiobook)
Short story collection. I dunno, it's like I started with the book of hers that I most liked (China Mountain Zhang) and then it's been downhill from there, in terms of liking. There was one story here that didn't work for me at all, and several where I lost interest. But the titular story about a post-apocalyptic mom and her daughter was an interesting contrast to The Road (about a post-apocalyptic man and his son) which we are currently reading in my book club.
Pappan och havet by Tove Janson [Moominpappa at Sea]
MOAR Moominbooks. This one is all about Moominpappa and his head-of-the-family crisis. He wants to take care of his family! And build mighty works! His family are all slightly worried over this and very considerate, and try their best to let him take care of them. But there are other things going on as well, like the mysteries of the sea and the island and the prancing sea horses. Recommended!
