THE ROAD wins the Pulitzer Prize
Cormac McCarthy’s THE ROAD is one of the best books I’ve ever read. But to get me to read it again, Dick Cheney and George W. Bush would have to waterboard me, beat me, tie me to a chair and shine bright lights in my eyes. The thought of delving in that beautiful, horrifying nightmare world again makes me want to swear of reading books forever.
However, I’m pleased to note that it just won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
Surprisingly, it looks like Oprah had it in her book club. That’s one messed up book club, in my honest opinion. I could never imagine my mom getting the first chapter, much less the millions of women around the country who delve into Oprah’s reading list.
