A must read!!

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is truly a "must-read" for everyone.

I read it on the plane to VA. It was compelling - it would be hard to put down, so plan for that.

I'd be interested in comments from those who have read it!!

I read it this past winter and I really enjoyed it. There is a movie coming out soon with Viggo Mortenson as the father.

I'm trying to remember specific details about it, the only thing I remember is that it was very compelling and scary.

Kyle McClure and I had a great discussion about it in the staff lounge - we were talking about how the apparent lack of detail was really very detailing.

A movie - hmmm - I wonder how it will be.

Somehow the gruesomeness was mitigated - visualized it will probably end up r-rated.

We were saying how you actually constructed the horror yourself -which made it all the more horrifying.

I'm reading No Country For Old Men -sure started out violent!! Makes John Grisham look like pablum!!
