The Road by Cormac McCarthy
4.0

People have been asking me to read Cormac McCarthy, so I started with “The Road”. An apocalyptic story of a man and his son who leave up north and try to make their way to the coast, the ocean, hoping that the fire they carry will lead them to where a possible future lies. the story really rolled out in a believable way, descriptive, emotional, sad … As the father does what he must to save them both, there’s the consistent truth that the boy is just a child, and even though he’s known that bad things can happen, he doesn’t want to be part of making bad things happen. He’s still got a good soul trapped in a horrific world. It was a good book, written so well, so thoughtfully and so deep, I will read it again.

As a side note, I think I would choose to stay in an underground bunker made by a survivalist or prepper; I mean no one has found it in years, I think my chances would be better in there at least for a while.
