My brother, who also likes the postapocalyptic stuff, told me about this book by Cormac McCarthy.

The Road

http://www.amazon.com/Road-Cormac-McCarthy/dp/B002H40NH2/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253320913&sr=8-5

Not sure if any of you know about it. I Wouldn't be surprised if you have.


From the description he gave and what he thought about it, it seems friggin epic.
The 'Winner of the Pulitzer Prize' sticker on the book is a plus.

This is somewhat lolzie. Some of the books had the sticker 'Oprah's Book Club' I wtfed and asked myself, "is this the right book?"

Yeah, it's the right book. It won Oprah's 2007 reward, IIRC.

I picked it up from the library once, but I didn't get very far. It's kind'a difficult what the characters are saying, he writes (edit) dialogue differently than most authors.

Yeah, that's what my brother said, and he likes that style.

I haven't started reading it yet. Got other books ahead of it.
Also playing Fallen Earth and I have school. Not much time for anything else.
