Was able to finish Brida during work, so moving on to the next #audiocommute book. This one's part of my #SeptemberTBR #Pulitzer challenge (Fiction, 2007). #audiobook #RBdigital
I'm not crying, I have something in my eye.
No, I'm crying.
#currentlyreading and almost done already.
pickClearly, my copy of The Road has seen better days...a couple years ago, I caught a foster dog chewing up the spine. But it's still readable! 🤷♀️
I was in a total reading slump and this is one of those tried and true, satisfying, quick reads. This was at least my fourth or fifth time reading it. It's dark, but a favorite for sure.

Holy crap that got dark quick! Wow!
#WanderingJune #RoadToNowhere LOVE this song👂🏼 🐛🎶 Book is still on my TBR ~ think I‘m adding it to my virtual #BookCart today 😉
School is closed today in honor of those who served and never made it home. A special thank you to all of those brave men and women. ♥️
Getting in some reading before the end of May. This time of the school year has been so overwhelming and exhausting, I‘ve barely had any brain power left to read! 👩🏻🏫🧠💡
A man and his son take a stroll during the end of the world.
Actually, that‘s not even a bad description. It‘s pretty much dead on.
Oh my God who did this ???
If Cormac McCarthy helped write Old Town Road...it's a SPOT ON writing impersonation.

Less #highwaytohell and more destroyed highway IN hell. Not my usual cuppa, but I was entranced by this sparse dystopian tale of a man and boy trying to get . . . somewhere.

“The world soon to be largely populated by men who would eat your children in front of your eyes and the cities themselves held by cores of blackened looters who tunneled among the ruins and crawled from the rubble white of tooth and eye carrying charred and anonymous tins of food in nylon nets like shoppers in the commissaries of hell.”

1. -33 and falling today, but I found a little rainbow.
2. I kinda like our neighborhood. It‘s really quiet. But I don‘t know many of my neighbors. But it‘s a great central location.
3. Favourite read in a long time. It won‘t leave my head.
4. Before bed, when everyone is quiet.
5. Roasted chicken thighs and a cabbage salad with sesame dressing. Side of basmati for the kids.

The windchill is -30 again. Ugh! I‘m so over winter. Hubby said The Road did things to him and I should watch the movie. But why watch a movie when you can read the book? My library hold come in, so this is what I‘m reading today. It matches the bleak, snowy cold outside my window.
#MusicalNewYear #BoulevardofBrokenDreams Chances are that if you have ever posted about this book I‘ve probably commented that the sun does not shine while you read this book. This is also filed under my “too sad to cry” section. (Right next to House of Sand and Fog, the movie) Cormac, who hurt you in life? Lol
pickMay well be his greatest work, while quite probably his most intensely personal one.

pickThe classic post-apocalyptic novel about a man and his son, walking through a wasteland of America. It's bleak and sparse and depressing and utterly engrossing.

pickCompletely bleak, but I loved it. I tried reading the book years ago and struggled to get halfway. The audio was much easier. McCarthy isn't for everyone, but fiction of the dystopian/post-apoc variety, even the more literary versions like this book, makes me contemplate survival and all its complexities. Not sure why I like that, but I do lol.
bailedWelp. Not the best run for me right now.
I felt like this was one I *should* read & that 117 pages was a good test of Cormac McCarthy. I don't mind dark/depressing subject matter (I'm about to move on to Gillian Flynn), but the sentence fragments & lack of punctuation drove me crazy! Not to mention having to look up 3-4 words per page, many of which aren't in the dictionary.
Am I the only one?
Usually I have 2 to 3 books going at the same time; physical book, audio book and an ebook or short story collection.

pickProbably between pick and so-so for me? Some bits are really sluggish and hard to wade through but I really appreciate the symbolism and originality of this book! I‘ve never come across a book as stylised as this one; it‘s fascinating! And although some of the language and descriptions are lengthy and confusing, they were also beautiful and poetic. It‘s not an engrossing story but it is a fascinating one.
(My brother detests it 😂)
Uh. I have many questions.
I was scanning bar codes into LibraryThing. I‘ve heard The Road called many things but never this.
This is absolutely the most miserable book I've ever read. But it's also one of my favorites. What's that saying? #misery loves company? 😉

Not doing a lot for my Monday mood. Seriously, though, so far so good.
Father and son focus on pure day by day survival, in this post-apocalyptic novel, rather than thinking of #thedayaftertomorrow. #septemberdanes

Brilliant storytelling, the wording and imagery he creates is just so vivid.
He writes in short chapters and it just keeps you wanting more, I read this book in a few sittings.
It's one of my favourites. It's gripping, scary, heartbreaking, and beautiful.
