The novel I have chose for my outside reading is “The Mist” by Stephen King. I chose this book because I enjoy reading Stephen King books, and have read his whole “Dark Tower Series” and though every book was amazingly gripping and scary. I enjoy books that I can’t pick up, read the first page, than know the ending of the book, Stephen King’s novels are clear of that, he keeps you guessing what happens next every second of the books, and is grippingly brutal in descriptions that make me want to read more. I also just enjoy a good horror book and not many people can write that genre anything like Stephen King.
This story was first put in a book full of Stephen King’s “Short Stories” (it is thicker than the bible) the book was titled “Skeleton Crew” and depending how well I like this one, I might look for more of the short stories. I will also have to think asbout how this book compares to the “Dark Tower Series” because the only book out of the series by Stephen king I have read is “Salems Lot” and it was not nearly as good as the books from the series. I will probably find another story from Stephen king for my next book.
From reading the back of the book before I bought it, I have found that this book is about a small village of people over ran by mysterious storms, destroying much of a village, Someone takes his son out to go grocery shopping the next day early in the morning, and can barely get out of the house without seeing a large fog that is completely opaque

Last person Alive
If I was the last person in a post apocalyptic world I would be extremely lonely, although I think I would be better off. As the last person on earth I would not have to work for my keep or do anything but relax and gather food from abandoned groceries stores and possibly, farm some agriculture to gain my own sure fire supply of food. It would be lonely, but I would find animals who would be my “friends” although I would miss all my friends, I would get by. Though in some cases, animals would not be living and buildings may not remain and I would have to free lance farm and that could be a little bit challenging to take up on my own with no direction from anyone, and making sure food is clean and not radioactive or tinted in some way would be difficult. If electronics survived, I would be much more easily entertained, but would be able to find things to do on my own either way. In Minnesota if buildings didn’t survive I would make my own hut out of wood and other materials I could find across a post apocalyptic Minnesota. In general I would take living in a post apocalyptic world over the normal world in most circumstances.
