I'm not a fan of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" but it did win a Pulitzer and made Oprah's Book Club. That book convinced me that there are disasters you don't want to survive.
Oddly enough, that is one of the reasons why I loved that book. I thought it was very powerful and beautifully written, even if it was incredibly bleak.
Thanks for the book recommendations, guys! I think I'll add these to my
to-read shelf and the
ETS Group on
Goodreads.
