It was a gloomy day, no sunshine; only rain. I had to choose my novel, but which one would I pick? I read the list over and over again, but no book truly came out and grabbed ahold of me. I finally remembered a summary of "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy I had read online a few years ago when the movie version came out. It seemed interesting at the time; a man and his son trying to survive in a post-apocolyptic setting, enduring danger and thugs every step of the way. I finally chose this novel, went downstairs to my mom's book shelf, and lo and behold, I found the novel perched inbetween larger books I had never heard of.
Once again, the title of the novel I will be reading is "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. Published by Alfred A. Knopf in 2006, it is 256 pages, and has won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction in 2006. I will read atleast 1 chapter a day, starting this Sunday. I plan on having this book read by the middle of October.
