Patron is looking for a book she read years ago about the last man on earth,
he thinks, who lives in Oakland, CA, goes to Safeway for food. Eventually
he gets in a car and travels the country and finds others alive. A woman
gets pregnant so life will go on. Young people don't want to read, see no
point in it..Any ideas?
