Another Hopeful Fool wants to read Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller
Father in law gifted me his old copy (from the 70s, and yes it smells incredible). Not sure how this one passed me by, but I love going back and visiting these sci-fi classics and seeing if I can make out the seeds of things to come.
For now it occupies an honoured position beside my bed, under the backlog stack.
