"My book of last year is "The road"."

I find that there's nothing quite as engrossing as an apocalyptic, nuclear-winter plus cannibalism story.<<

Koan:

"With all due respect, that was the "setting". The thesis of the book, I believe, was a fathers deep love for his child.

During the entire book, the father loved his child, protected his child with his life, comforted his child and ultimately saved his child."
