Sunday

This afternoon I finished The Road.  WOW.  It is no doubt one of the best books I have read.  How can someone write about the world after an event that has never occurred so descriptively?  It was so moving, at times frightening.  I could feel the emotions of the book as it followed the journey of the man and the child though a desolate place.

It is no secret that I love to read and I would have trouble listing my all time favourite books but I tried to think of ones that I've read that have have left me feeling this way.  Wuthering Heights, The English Patient, Cold Mountain.

If I was an English Lit teacher (something I briefly thought of doing 20 years ago) this would definitely be on my list of books to read.
