Good Reads: "The Road"

Occasionally, I will share about what I've been reading. For November 11-18, 2024, I read this book. If you're so moved, read on.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic

Thoughts: Cormac McCarthy's 2006 novel The Road is, quite simply a brilliant piece of writing. The late author had a way of painting vivid portraits of his characters (here, "the man" and "the boy") without being overwrought or heavy-handed. The Road is considered a modern classic by many and, on my second read, I still see why.

Good Reads: "War" by Bob Woodward

A 50/50 Life

The duplex of the demarcation: Christopher Court in Huntingburg, Indiana. Nov. 22, 2000 (a few days after we moved in).

If my calculations are correct, the number of days from my 1977 birth in Paris, Tennessee's Henry County General Hospital until the day we left Cedarvalley Drive in Nashville, Tenn., to move to Dubois County, Indiana has been 8,626 days.

The number of days from Nov. 20, 2000 until July 3, 2024 has now been 8,626 days.

23 years, 7 months, 13 days.

This means that I have lived, as of today, a 50/50 life. 

Half a Volunteer. Half a Hoosier.
