The Road by Cormac McCarthy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
By far The Road is Cormac’s most gripping novel to date, and worthy of its Pulitzer.
Despite not having character names (only one appears and it is false, Ely) and despite having no chapter breaks — instead the narrative broken down into unindented, short paragraphs, the novel reads with ease and the writing keeps the pages turning as the reader hopes the man and his son may find solace for at least one night within the wasteland they so wearily travel.
A Very Strong Recommend.

“A TIME TO LOVE IN TEHRAN is a thrilling adventure which takes place in pre-revolutionary Tehran. Author CG FEWSTON provides a unique glimpse into this important historical city and its rich culture during a pivotal time in its storied past. This book is so much more than a love story.

“Thus one skilled at giving rise to the extraordinary
is as boundless as Heaven and Earth,
as inexhaustible as the Yellow River and the ocean.
Ending and beginning again,
like the sun and moon. Dying and then being born,
like the four seasons.”
