"If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, it's just possible you haven't grasped the situation." - Jean Kerr
Feeling depressed? Has life got you thinking it's the end of the world? Pick up one of these and understand that you still have the simple comforts of life: food, hot water, electricity. You have a safe shelter free of cannibals and zombies. '09 was a rough year, luckily there was a plethora of great post-apocalyptic titles guaranteed to cheer any downtrodden spirit.
The Road, Cormac McCarthy. Set in a harsh landscape locked in a nuclear winter, a man and his young son fight for survival as they hide from cannibals and hunt for food. Very bleak.
I am Legend, Richard Matheson. Take comfort in the lonely recollections of the last survivor of a vampiric plague and yes, he must hide from lots of monsters.
or for a lighter view:
GoGo Girls of the Apocalypse, Victor Gischler. After nine years of self-imposed exile, Mortimer Tate emerges from a remote Tennessee cave to discover that various global catastrophes have all but wiped out civilization and life as he knew it has severally changed.
