Anyone really into reading apocalyptic fiction right now? Do you have any favorites or recommendations? I'm always looking for more book ideas. I just finished this for the 2nd time and love the absurd craziness.

Just finished reading "Becoming" by Michelle Obama. It is a very good autobiography, talking about her childhood and life up until her husband left the white house. It's a nonfiction book that will likely interest even those who only read fiction.

I just finished Borne by Jeff Vandermeer and now I am reading the first book in his Southern Reach Trilogy. I am not a big sci fi person, but I do enjoy a good post apocalyptic dystopian novel. Has anyone else read his work?
