A Canticle for Leibowitz

I don't think this is a spoiler, but just in case...

Was I the only one who was really bummed that Francis got made just when you started to like the guy?

It always amazes me how certain books seem to continue to be relevant in the moment. I finished reading this book as the Pope is traveling through the US, the Congress is split over the Iran deal, and we may be electing a crazy man or woman to lead our country. It is amazing how you can see past events forming to produce the events we are living in today. Oh, and I'm talking about the book too.

Once I figured out that this was basically three short stories put together through the buzzards, I settled in and enjoyed it a lot more. Take a chance to read or reread this. I audiobooked it, and I think that helped. Oh, and everybody dies, again!
