June is national ass-kicking month.

Please remember we tried. We rolled ourselves in Saran wrap and spermicides, we sacrificed eleven trillion virgins. One fatted calf. The cracks we filled with golf balls and Rubics cubes, wedding rings, erasers. Remember you were born like us. A disaster stamped on each earlobe like a prayer.

Excellent books about the end of the world:
Pastwatch, Orson Scott Card
Earth Abides, George R. Stewart
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Philip K. Dick
Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut
The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood
The Lathe of Heaven, Ursula LeGuin
The Giver, Lois Lowry

Any other suggestions?
