Mysteria.. I just saw your question. I enjoyed reading The Road. I kept thinking it was going to be something that it never turned out to be. It is about a father and son on a road, walking to somewhere after everything has been decimated by some sort of tragedy. Their relationship.. the father-son bond held my interest throughout.

There is a movie version for anyone that is interested. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898367/

Looks like it might be released this fall.

Re: OTA so how was "The Road" ?

I like the list not so much as a classic collection as much as a referencing...

Wow.. interesting list. I have read several of them. The first one on the list "The Road" was a book I read just recently.
