The Long Tomorrow

My to-read pile is basically a jumble of several hundred ebooks in my reader app. Just finished Scalzi’s “Kaiju Preservation Society” (a satisfying pop song of a book) and reached into my stack and randomly grabbed the next one.

It’s the 1955 classic “The Long Tomorrow” by groundbreaking author Leigh Brackett. I’ve already stayed up an hour past my bedtime reading it. Don’t know how it got by me this whole time.

“The Long Tomorrow” was fantastic! That Leigh Brackett could really write. Of course, everyone who has watched The Empire Strikes Back already knows that. Yeah, that was her script. She died before it went into production, but much of what she wrote made it into the film.
