THE ROAD

I cant recall the last time I read a new book all the way through. I'm about halfway through Cormac McCarthy's "The Road". Tight terse style with short sentences, incomplete even, very spare. Very sparse.

“Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.
You forget some things, dont you?
Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.”


“He thought that in the history of the world it might even be that there was more punishment than crime but he took small comfort from it.”
