I'm rec-ing this book because it kind of kicked off my re-emergence into reading. Tyler rec'd it to me several years ago, and because it was a small commitment of ~300ish pages, I figured why not and gave it a shot. Alas, Babylon was written in the '50s, at the height of the Cold War, when the fear of an apocalyptic war was everywhere. You read about a small Florida town's adjustment to the end times & how they come together to survive. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, and easily powered through it in a couple days, even when I read it as my first book in years.
