2. probably not but you will ponder and worry more
the story in each will hold your interest thru to the end. you will like the people in Atomic a lot of big money murders in Venum

5. Was it Gregory Peck & maybe Ava Gardner?
Saw it. Good, but depressing.

7. Okay, An Atomic Romance I find,
and my library has a copy so I'll probably check it out when I go there in about an hour or so. But Venum I cannot find, not even on Amazon. Is that the correct title spelled correctly? Who is the author? When was it published? What's it about?

V-e-n-o-m. Couldn't find it under Venum. Got it with the author's name. Will take a look at it.

11. sorry - I'm a terrible speller - some sort of mental block lol
before computers I used to joke that I kept a dictionary tied to my waist so I could spell things. (it was nearby, not tied to me) now I have a large one that I use as a footstool while p.c.ing.

8. I'd like to rec ALAS, BABYLON by Pat Frank. Published 1959.
It's about a fictional nuclear war, and how a group of people in FL survived. It's a story about personal growth. Many of the main characters have a more fulfilling life after the nuclear war.
