THE ROAD- If I was going to read a book you know it would be a good one. I haven’t read a book for pleasure in years, at least 4, maybe 5 and that was a book I had to read for a course and then re-read because I enjoyed it. After being formally diagnosed with ADD I figured, hey now maybe I can sit and read a book without completely day dreaming after one paragraph.

Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road” is the story of a father and son wandering the wasteland of a destroyed America after and unconfirmed world catastrophe, I know it was nukes, but that’s never mentioned.

I was just finishing “FALLOUT 3” right when I started the road, basically they accompany each other. Pick up this piece of scrap metal, it may save you’re life. Strain this rain water through a stocking to purify it etc.

While in the hospital a RN told me it was the most depressing book he’d read in his entire life. That’s funny because I thought it was amazing, I could not put it down and looked forward to every page. The book is being made into a movie with Viggo Mortensen as “the man”. The movie is brutal; touching on cannibalism, murder, rape while at the same time, touching on the basis of pure humanity, survival. Highly suggested reading, if you think you can handle it. Read it.
