Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end. -Virginia Woolf, Modern Fiction

Azf did you read it? Cause holy smokes!
Also: a disclaimer: disregaurd my disregaurding comments about your womenhood over on pandas. Just ignore them. They aren't true.
goddam right they aren't.
I have not read it. As you should know, it is a very rare situation when I read hardcover books.
hardcover shmardcover. Its great. Like holding two boards.
In any case you should read pretty horses first despite having a cheezy title. Eric Stolts speaks eloquently of it in Kicking and Screaming.
There are no horses in The Road. Only becuase they would be eaten. Also and even though the book reads with the same suspense of a zombie movie, or like playing Doom for two hours, there is in some sense more hope than his other books. As if with his other books he was looking for something and after he imagines graphically the apocalypse, he ends up finding it.
Also your blog got a whole lot harder to comment on since you had those new security letters installed. They are hard to read.
"it's like holding two boards."
Awesome.
Ignore the zombie comment. The Road is at least on the same level as Old Man and the Sea.
Seriously.
tell me more whb...
