Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
I have just started it, and as with other Octavia Butler books, I find it a little hard to get into at the beginning. But I find her writing absorbing, a little while after I get going. Parable of the Sower is a post-apocalyptic novel, which is exactly what I'm in the mood for right now. It's very of-the-moment, as it's supposed to be taking place in 2024. It's about an empath who decides to follow a new religion that is very sci fi, rather than the traditional one her family follows.
The book has also been made into a graphic novel, but I decided to go for the written version with this book rather than the graphic one. I've gone with the graphic novel version for several of the books I've read lately, and I think it's time to get back to some words - and only words - and let my imagination do the visualizing.
