While searching for information about Earth Abides, I found Lost Books, a catalog of higly rated but little known speculative fiction. There's some good stuff there.

Here's some I've read:

• Z For Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien. A fantastic, moving post-apocalyptic book about a girl who survives nuclear war alone. I remember being incredibly impressed with this book when I was in junior high school.
• Earth Abides by George R. Stewart. It's another post-apocalyptic novel. I'm reading it right now.

This looks like a really cool site. The author metions another Robert C. O'Brien book I've read, Report from Group 17, which I also loved in junior high school. I can't remember much about it now, but it was about mind control experiments. Man, this brings back memories. I had no idea these books were so rare...

What's it going to be powered by, 419 spams?

National Coming Out Day was October 11th and was celebrated by GLBT people and their friends and family across the nation. But not at the White House, which declared the week of October 12-18th Marriage Protection Week.

If that's not a coded message, I don't know what is.
