The book I'm reading is "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. It's about this man and his son that are traveling a road (go figure) after the world has ended, due to nuclear warfare. I've read this book before, and I can tell you that it's a great book. The words used are very descriptive and paint a beautiful mental picture. Well, how "beautiful" can the world be after nukes?... Something I find interesting is that neither the dad nor the son are ever named throughout the whole book. Cormac always refers to them as "the man" or "the boy". hmm.. I wonder how the war started that ended with the nukes? That would be cool to know. A movie was made based on this book, also titled "The Road", and I've never seen it. Sure would like to though...
