I feel like I could belong to “The End of the World Book Club.” This one is better than many post-apocalyptic books I've read. I don't know if it was intentional, but it had a lot of similarities with The Odyssey. Extended journey by a crew to get back to family with episodic adventures (that I won't spoil but that seem very close to the cyclops and Circe tales). Add to that some sprinklings of Norse and Christian mythology, and you have a tale with more layers than your typical The Stand or Walking Dead rehash. Oh, there are some good bits about endurance running, but it's not as prominent as the title would suggest.
