Somehow it feels appropriate to read The Apocalypse Triptych between now and January 20th. It's three anthologies - The End Is Nigh, The End Is Now, and The End Has Come - edited by John Joseph Adams and Hugh Howey, dealing with the end of the world: right before, during, and after.
Most (but not all) of the contributions are also triptychs, one part appearing in each volume. This leaves me with a minor quandary in how to read them. Should I read each book separately, maintaining the theme, or read them in parallel to follow each mini-saga? I'm leaning toward the latter option, which leaves me mildly irked that the authors are presented in differing sequence with each book.
I suppose I could customize my own omnibus volume and resequence everything...
