Anyone else read this in junior high school and now with everything going on in the world listening to this again to get tips on what to put in their stock pile… what’s useful and what was useless???? If Kamkam wins I’m afraid this book and information will be the difference between death or survival!!!
My Dad told us about this book when I was less than 10. I bought the first copy I found. Thank you for reading this. Years ago, my teenage daughters and I took turns reading books out loud. This was one of them.
Thank you! I read this when I was 15 in military school. Listening to you brings me back to my rock hard bed and smells. Thank you
Love scientifically possible apocalypse stories, most are zombie nonsense, thanks for your reading
I’m listening to this at 2x speed bc I was supposed to read this for school but I didn’t. Real life saver
The rank "ensign", is pronounced "en-sin".
Thanks, it was a good reading, I enjoyed it! 🙂
So glad! I’m about to post some chapter summaries and breakdowns!
@@katysreadingroom That sounds interesting, looking forward to hearing them..
Thank you so much for this! I love this book and I am listening to it for the second time! One note--I was an air force wife for 20 years. SAC is pronounced "sack." It isn't spelled out as S-A-C. Even tho it stands for Strategic Air Command, the abbreviation, SAC is pronounced as a word. But now I have to go back to listening to this amazing book!
Thank you so much for this info, and for the listen! I’m glad to find another lover of my favorite book!
@@katysreadingroom Nice reading! If I could make another note? Ensign is pronounced like in sin. It's a french word.. well Latin but I digress.
May I suggest a book called Darwinia
I’ll check it out! Thank you for the suggestion!
How about dmt?
1:00:00
My favorite of the entire genre!
It’s the best!
This is such a great book thank you so much for reading it
You are so welcome! I’m glad to share it with people who love it like I do
Thanks a bunch u just carried me through my book club book for school
Happy to help! I’m glad to hear schools are teaching this one.
My sister and I read this book in high school. It made a huge impression on us. It is fantastic to listen to this audiobook. The narrator is excellent! Thank you so very much!!! 📙
Glad you enjoyed it! It’s my favorite book, and I love sharing it 💕
Maryann is my sister. We always talk about "Alas Babylon," "Level 7," and others. I recommended "Earth Abides" to Maryann a few days ago. Now that I'm subscribed, I'll check out your audios. Thank you!@@katysreadingroom
Thank you, Sister, for being a fellow disaster -ist. We have such great conversations about various books and movies. If anyone has any good recommendations about other disaster books or movies, let Madeleine and I know. We would always suggestions!
An amazing book, TBH I’m a bit surprised this has never been made into a movie even if only a made for TV one or even a miniseries. Thank You so much for this!
It would make a fantastic movie!
They made an Episode of Playhouse 90 based on this book. Unfortunately, the only copy (That I know of) is the UCLA archives and they haven't allowed to be distributed to the public. They actually had a screening of it in 2105. I agree that it would make a great miniseries.
@@louisvillaescusa Basically Jericho, the tv series, is an updated version. It i wild that you cannot find the Playhouse 90 version although all the other Playhouse 90s are available. Its also strange how with the post-apoc craze of movies in the 80s this was never looked at.
Only book I've ever read
It’s one I can read again and again 💕
Thank you very much!!! Excellent job. Love this book. Cheers from Honduras.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your kind words. Salud!
Thank you for reading this book. I read it as a teenager and never forgot it. These days it seems like an appropriate novel for everyone to read or listen to.
I first read this as a teenager in high school, as well. It always stuck with me, too! I absolutely agree; it is a must read considering the world today!
Interesting reading, Thank You.
Glad you enjoyed it!
How many chapters are ther
Around 1981 I found this book in a garage sale. I read it while in Cub Scouts when we were camping. This book was mysterious to me. There is a lovely "Audible" version. I like yours a bit better.
Thank you so much for the compliment! This book never goes out of style.
Comments were off on Alas Babylon, I just wanted to say thank you, I'm enjoying it and your reading of it. Cheers from Australia.
Edit. Just finished it. Very poignant. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you enjoyed it- it’s such a great book. Cheers!
Nice library!
I think so too!
I still love to read but lack the time, I spend 12-14hrs a day in my repair shop alone and get bored with the mind numbing d.j.'s on the radio. Your voice is calming and I truly enjoyed the Pat Frank classic, it's been decades since I read that. Thank you for spending the time for us that lack it.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m honored to share this book with you.
I first read this book about 25 years ago. To this day, I get and keep a paper copy of my eye glasses prescription because of this story.
And I keep at least 15 lbs of coffee and a case of scotch whisky in the house for the same reason.
Right?! It makes you really think about so many small things.
Me too!
hey, thanks, read this book in the early 70s. I was surprised to find this. I grew up in an industrial first strike target in upstate NY( IBM, GE, Link etc), so we knew we were dead. Again thanks. I haven't seen a copy of this book since the 70s, maybe early 80s.
I read it in my freshman year of high school in 1984. I lived in Hudson County, NJ, right outside Manhattan. I knew if stuff got real, I wouldn't have too long to worry about it, if you know what I mean. 🙂
Same here only south coast and petrochemical industry.
Lovely reading of an horrid tale. Thank you for bringing it to us. Poe was truly an American master with a multitude of great works to his credit. As for short stories I have many favorites. If I HAD to pick ONE off the top of my head, I suppose I would choose Hop Frog. Also, as a poet he was really great. His poetry? It was first rate. Heavens, I've made a rhyme. I'm a poet and didn't know it. But my feet show it. They're Longfellow's (you may hurl much deserved scorn upon my head for that last bit. My daughter did). We look forward to your next installment of Katy's Reading Room. Be seeing you.
This made me laugh out loud! Thank you for your support!
You'd have laughed louder had you actually heard The Girl. I rarely LOL when I am "on" the computer. Mostly I just LQTM... (laugh quietly to myself).@@katysreadingroom
Quite relevant today!!
I completely agree!
Concur, a lot of stupid going around these days.
This is one of my all time favorite books ever. Thank you for doing this! Btw: Mr Frank wrote this during the time of Jim Crow. You should’ve read it as written with an announcement of disapproval of the language used. It’s an anti racist book. You need to be true to history no matter how difficult and disgusting it can be. Hugs
I taught this book to sophomores for seven years, and read it as it is written, uncomfortable language and all. I absolutely agree that it is so important to address. However, UA-cam restricts this language so I had to omit it from my videos
@@katysreadingroom The irony of concern over this book’s language in 2023. Part of the charm of this text is it’s cultural innocence versus today’s nihilism. Thanks for taking the time to read the text.
@@katysreadingroom mother of god! seriously? we are allowing UA-cam to censure our books? this is beyond disgusting! i am sight impaired and if i wanted a readers digest version of a classic book.....i would read their version! i know this is YT, not the reading rooms fault.....but still.....i am ashamed of YT
We don't need a political commentary we are happy with hearing the book as written
If we follow your advice, classics like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Fin, and millions of books would require your warning. Stop pushing your wokeness. We all know that times change, and readers can read how things use to be without having to baby them as if the reading of the book will shock them into a cardiac arrest.
This will be ,I think, my sixth reading of this. Second audio. I think I’m so fascinated because I live in Sarasota,FL. That’s a little too close. Thank you.
Awesome! Please keep the great book choices coming!
You got it! Anything you’d like to hear?
WOO HOO, two chapters in two days. Many thanx.
You're very welcome!
Been waiting for more of this great book and your superb reading. Thanx.
Hello Ms. Katy, my family and I have enjoyed very much your excellent reading of the story so far and are awaiting the next chapter with bated breath. I would say more but that might mean opening a whole new can of worms.
I totally get you! It’s such an incredible book. Thank you for your kind words and support!
Thank you so very much for this reading, it was very thoughtful, It was was required reading when I was in junior high in Orlando back in 1978,love it
I love this book, also my favorite, probably read it two dozen times since it was assigned in high school back in 1983. Thanks for doing this and looking forward to you completing the read! Thanks Katy!
My favorite book too!
One of the best!
