[aisle] Dystopian book, no violence

[Kathleen Kerner]

Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer was pretty nonviolent.  There may
have been some defensive behavior or talk of the possibility of violence
(when resources get scarce and people steal them) but I don't recall much
violence for violence's sake. I did read it a while ago and don't not
remember all the details, but you can scan it.

"The simplest way to make sure that we raise literate children is to teach
them to read, and to show them that reading is a pleasurable activity. And
that means, at its simplest, finding books that they enjoy, giving them
access to those books, and letting them read them." -- Gaiman, Neil. "Neil
Gaiman: Why Our Future Depends on Libraries, Reading and Daydreaming." The
Guardian. Guardian News and Media, 15 Oct. 2013.
