Finished The Road this evening and it was totally heartbreaking. I really need to lay off of books involving children in unbearable places. Although it was a tough read, the painstaking detail of the day-to-day activities of the father and son kept me reading on. That and the want/need to have the end of the story be at least a little hopeful. The movie version comes out at the end of November from the director of The Proposition and stars Viggo Mortensen with small appearances from Robert Duvall and Michael K. Williams. That last name should ring a bell if you watch The Wire. He plays Omar Little on the show (it’s a fantastic show, if you haven’t seen it) and I’m looking forward to seeing him out of his Wire character.

Next on deck? Twilight from Stephanie Meyer in hopes that I can have a little fun and then maybe some Neil Gaiman after that. It’s good to be back on the reading wagon where the only problem is finding what I’ll read next.
