The Road - McCarthy

I think this by Cormic McCarthy, i sent it out already so I dont remember.

Anyone read this?

Lets see, I had nightmares a few nights in a row, and I was terribly depressed and desolate feeling during/after reading this book. Im super emotional though, I cry at commercials. (Thanks so much Sarah McLachlan, as if I didn't want to save every pet already)

BUT

it's a real page turner and you hope and hope so bad that the end something great happens even though in your deepest of deeps you know there is no fn way that could possibly be. So you keep reading and turning each page with a spark of hope that this is it, on this page is salvation. That's when I realized it was a really good book. Not many books can make me feel like the characters feel. I guess it won a pulitzer prize for some reason right?

Near the end i simply couldn't take it anymore and skipped to the last few pages of the book to see how it ends. As good as the book is I'm completely horrified by it and couldn't get the damn thing out of my house fast enough. I heard theres a movie too and the curious sick sid of me wants to watch it, while the rest of me wants to burn it alive.

sidebar, I was totally excited to watch The Colony on the discovery channel until I read this book. Fuck that, I've never been so thankful for everything in my entire life.

So, all in all: Good book, just keep the suicide hotline number close by
