The Leftovers
 

Anyone read this? It is NOT horror - actually very funny and poignant. but it has a great premise: the Rapture (or something very close to it) happens and millions of people just disappear (but not Christians - the whole spectrum of religion, morality, humanity, etc). The book follows members of a community as they try to get on with life in the aftermath of this reality-changing event.

Like I said, it isn't horror but it is pretty smart and nicely written. I really liked it.

It sounds interesting. Who's the author?

tom perrota - he also wrote Election and Little Children

Thanks, Zero....I'll check it out.
