I read fiction because it is my first love. Specifically Science Fiction. I like the classics like Hemingway and Steinbeck as long as they are thin. I have read loads of westerns, and nonfiction history and How to’s. The reason to read post apocalyptic fiction is to try to glean any useful information or thought processes that might be useful in a survival situation.
