I know you're thinking its a silly question. I really like him as a sci-fi writer. And I read everything he wrote, up untill 1985. But the ending is so lame. Here are all these people, who find books most precious, and when they get out from civilisation, they go back to memorizing books, just like in the times before man was really literate. If a book was to come to some sort of positive end, such as this book is portraying, then literacy would be the positive end, not a regression back into some kind of nostaliga of reciting books to one another. Going back to the speaking of books, as if man were living as a tribe, is a regression.
I think, if these people really liked books, then the protection of books, and getting children to read, not listen to the stories of elders, would have been on these people minds.
