My two favorites that stand out this year: Earth Abides by George Stewart 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami

  Oh wow. Didn’t expect to see this here. Earth Abides is one of my favorites, too. Must have read it over five times. I even visited Berkley and the Indian Rock Park close to where the author lived, which is a central location in the book.

    I don't know if it's because of Covid or I'm a parent but it really affected me. The ending was one of the best.

      Found any other books like it, or that, even though they are different, you liked in a similar way? I’ve read many books with a similar extinction event story line, but none quite compares. And it seems Stewart himself didn’t write many more books (I only found one about settlers crossing into California, which I didn’t like as much).
