    Default "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy...

    Whoa....most depressing novel ever written?

    Anyone here read this? He's the same guy that wrote "No Country for Old Men."

    No and I might check it out but am not in the mood to be depressed by anything else right now.

    Yeah, still haven't decided if I liked it or not. The style he used was pretty strange; kind of detached.

    It's not depressing in a personal way....it's hard to describe.

    Basically, it's about the end of the world/end of civilization as all wild life on earth has died and a few straggling human survivors try to keep going.

    It's almost poetic in its presentation. Excellently written but hard to take.
