Ooh, is that what Afterland is about? Neat! It's been kind of on my radar, because I've liked Lauren Beukes' work in the past, but I hadn't really looked into the story. Sounds like it went better than Y: The Last Man, which is also about nearly all of the male population getting killed off by a virus, but stupid. (Half my friends seem to love it, however, and I have never understood why.)
Getting accurate covers is an uphill battle from what I understand. I've noticed that nonfiction can tend to get very detail heavy. Maybe that's why I find it such a struggle to read. I mostly don't care about The History of whatever happened, I want to read it as a story, y'know?
I'm due for another Last Five Books Read post, just need to track down my list of which five books those were.
