A Canticle for Leibowitz

A Canticle For Leibowitz is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Walter M. Miller, Jr..

Review

I think the Miller hits the nail on the head with religion preserving documents, but only when they don't know what they're for. The moment technology can actually progress, they want to hide them away again.
I love how the church is so incredibly pious about everything, but all of their history is wrong.
I liked how the book was broken up into three parts, each taking place centuries later.

The book has too many drawn out passages of Latin mass.
Having to read about the obnoxiously dogmatic priests tried my patience.
Despite the book being named after him, the Leibowitz character is never described other than having been an electrical engineer.
As is common with older sci-fi, the author describes futuristic technology, but doesn't seem to grasp that abundant microchips and storage memory would be necessary before any of it would be possible.

While I didn't have any major gripes with the book, in general, I was bored most of the time.
