I rarely read fiction. So when I pick up a piece of fiction and blast through it in three days it must be good. So I can highly recomend the book "World Made By Hand", by James Howard Kunstler. This novel set not too far in the future tells the tale of a small upstate NY town after the collapse of our modern society. This book is well written and presents a scenario that just might be possible given our current state of affairs. I enjoyed this book and highly recomend it.
