Next book?

Greetings!

I suppose it is too late in the year to get another book started? Maybe you could post some interesting choices for summer reading?

I just finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy, and then found out it won the Pulitzer. I plan to read it again. It's a book that haunts you with its images. A little boy and his father try to survive in a world that's been destroyed by nuclear holocaust. And despite all the horrors of a place without a soul, there is goodness here.

Amazing.

Mrs. Simpson,
Cormac McCarthy is one of my all time favorite authors. I have read The Crossing and All The Pretty Horses by him. Blood Meridian is in my "to read" stack at home. Thanks for filling us in on The Road. Hopefully, we will get this blog going more next year.
