The Road
We have discussed this book in the past. I can't finish it without tears. Pussy, I know, but I'm just being honest.

Is that by Cormac McCarthy? I feel like I looked it up once when someone mentioned the movie. I've heard that he has some fantastic novels. The
only one I tried was Blood Meridian, but it didn't capture my attention and I didn't get far. Every few pages was a fight where someone was trying to
pluck out someone other guy's eyeball. The Border Trilogy is supposed to be really good.

Get the road. I've had it for a while and reread it. It's that good. It's cleansing and helps me focus on what is most important in my life.

I never heard of Cormac McCarthy until THORP BOARD. I forgot who, but someone made a thread about it becoming a movie. I was intrigued. The movie was
supposedly held back because it wasn't "dark" enough. I think it had more to do with the state of the economy at the time then anything else. Then
again, the movie is good, but doesn't hit like the book does. It still hits you though so get it if your not a reader.
I've only read NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and THE ROAD from McCarthy. I heard All the pretty Horses and Blood Meridian were really good from my Professor.
Seriously, don't blow it off as a normal book. The Road is an amazing piece of literature. Not kidding, three areas of the book, My eyes well up every
time. Words man, words.
