[LM_NET] Hit: Title, please

[Chris Evans <Purplecale1@AOL.COM>]

Thank you all for your help.  The title my colleague needed  was  
Z for Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien
The diary of Ann Burden, 16, who thinks she is the only survivor  of
nuclear war until a man with a radiation-proof suit comes into  the
valley. Though John Loomis seems pleasant enough at first, his  arrival
soon brings disaster, uncertainty, loneliness and terror for  Ann.
 
However, I was able to give him many other suggestions on similar  themes:
 
Earth Abides by George Stewart
 
On the Beach by Neville Shute

Children of the Dust  by Louise Lawrence.

Phoenix Rising by Karen Hesse
"Thirteen-year-old Nyle  learns about relationships and death when
fifteen-year-old Ezra, who was  exposed to radiation leaked from a nearby
nuclear plant, comes to stay at her  grandmother's Vermont farmhouse."

How I Live Now by Meg  Rosoff.

Fallout by Gudrun Pausewang?

There's a good short story by Stephen Vincent Benet  "By the Waters of  
Babylon" 
The main character is a young boy who
journeys alone to discover  knowledge.  It seems to be set in a primitive
time, but the reader  gradually figures out that he is traveling down
the Hudson River to  explore New York City, which is devastated by a
nuclear war that apparently  happened in the distant past.  The point is
that knowledge can be used  for good or evil.  It's worth a read.

Thank you so much for helping me support colleagues.
You're great!  
 
Readingly  yours,
Chris
