Aw, awesome. I'm going to interview Gary Shteyngart for LibraryThing about his new book! I'll let y'all know, so you can ask him questions.

Also, I was mostly an E. I've read all the books except A boy and his dog, which I'd never heard of. It's now in my TBR collection.

>3 sonyagreen:

A Boy and His Dog was made into a film years ago with Don Johnson as the main character. He wasn't a boy, but who's complaining?

I seem to be some kind of retrograde commie...I had mostly A's.

Whaddup with that?

The film of A Boy and His Dog is freaking weird. I haven't read the Harlan Ellison story.

I found it in a short story anthology, in Kindle form. See how good I am at getting what I need?

It turns out the movie was already in my Netflix queue, thanks to my hubs. That's a match made in post-apocalyptic heaven.

The below-ground sequences in A Boy and His Dog were a bit oddly staged, but the above ground parts out-Mad Maxed Mad Max!

The short story/novella of A Boy and His Dog was a formative read of my childhood. Well worth it.

I scored D's and E's, which makes sense as the books listed were some of my favorites in the genre. I love real PA and love the feminist dystopias and apocalypses as well.
