This last month's book club book was The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I am just getting ready to run it back to the library when I found a quote that I liked. Thought I'd share it:
People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didnt believe in that. Tomorrow wasnt getting ready for them. It didnt even know they were there.
This book was an interesting one. I want to see the movie just to see how much it links with what I created in my mind. I thought it was really impressive how the author wrote - the writing was simple but on such a complex topic: the world in a state we can only imagine. He didn't use quotation marks to show when characters spoke. Nor did he use apostrophes. I enjoyed the unique style in the book. Although I wouldn't say it's my favorite book, I am glad I read it.

The film is reeeeally good!
Harrowing, but I'd definitely recommend it.
I've followed your blog for a while now and I love it :)
I'd love to live in New York one day.
I remember forcing myself to read this book and was glad I did, if only because it's great to talk about books, even the ones you don't like. :) I didn't like the style, the grit, the hopelessness. It was soul-sucking, even though I generally *like* harrowing, survivalist, whatwouldhappenif- type books. But I'm *still* glad I read it.
