THE ROAD

Jerry & I use to talk about sitting curled up in front of the fire on a cold winter's day reading a book. Due to the extreme hot weather, this past Saturday we did a new version of that. We curled up in front of the air conditioner & read The Road by Cormac McCarthy. This is an extremely thought provoking book. We had to get past the first several pages before we determined we would even continue the book. After a point, I am not sure what that point was, we could not put the book down. We read the book cover to cover that afternoon and evening. The copy I had borrowed from the library was about 254 pages and gratefully it was the large print edition. A much easier read for us. Guess that says something about our age, huh? Well, eyesight anyway. I have decided that "if I can remember" from here on out I will get large print editions of whatever I am selecting to read when the opportunity arises.
