I read The Road by Cormac McCarthy. The Road is a bleak yet profoundly moving post-apocalyptic novel that follows a father and his young son as they journey across a desolate, burned-out America. This is =not= a book that I'd recommend for the Book Club. The Road is a bleak yet profoundly moving post-apocalyptic novel that follows a father and his young son as they journey across a desolate, burned-out America. The world has been devastated by an unspecified catastrophe—possibly nuclear—leaving the landscape covered in ash, devoid of most life, and inhabited by scattered survivors, many of whom have turned to cannibalism. McCarthy’s sparse, poetic prose and the novel’s stripped-down narrative create a haunting meditation on survival, morality, and the enduring power of love in the face of total devastation.

What’s with the lack of proper punctuation in this? Unreadable for me.
