The Earth Abides
#4
After Greg mentioned this I decided to reread it, back before we got put on lockdown. It's really not very good. He was mainly interested in the idea of the new mythology growing up, and he didn't really work out a lot of things. He has the people still eating canned food 20+ years after the disaster, and not really gardening at all. And Ish, the main character, practically worships books and the library, but he never goes and looks for books that have information he could use. In fact he only goes to the library a couple of times in the book. And he never gets the idea of getting the kids to read by finding books with knowledge they would want, so reading dies out in his group.

Not really worth it
