I couldn’t resist. I had to put Oxygen aside and get into The Day of the Triffids. Like my post about The Kraken Wakes I found this book to be different from what I expected it to be. The Triffids are largely incidental to most of he book. The main theme is the collapse of society after an event makes most people blind. Of course if you can’t see the Triffids you are in trouble…
All in all a very enjoyable read. Next up Wyndham’s The Trouble with Lichen. It’s got a periodic table on the cover so it’s bound to be good! 🙂
