erika, Schutz is ... well, I don't know if "sick fucker" is an accurate description, but he's kind of grim. Lots of people die. He's good, but not a ray of sunshine.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Oh, I love his work. He's like a feral Faulkner.
Genius! I love him too although I haven't read the Road yet. I had to take a break from the post-Apocalypse for a while.

oh, and for the grammatically inclined (isn't that all of us?) - I was leafing through a book of erotica at Borders and came across a story where the heroine is named Cedilla. Heroes are Asterisk and Apostrophe.

I think my role on the board has become setting up for comm-worthy posts.

That place has huge money-suck potential for me, so I'd better avoid it. Damnit. Maybe next year.

This is my issue, Kathy. Not to mention that I went on a little shopping spree at Borders last weekend.

Dedicated lurker
Oprah's take on The Road was that it was a wonderful story of father/son love. McCarthy dedicated the book to his young son, and said that he would not have written it if he had not become a father (again) late in life. Oprah didn't deal with the post-apocalyptic idea very much in the interview.
The interview was taped in New Mexico, so McCarthy wasn't exposed to a studio audience. He seemed like a nice guy, dedicated to his writing. Didn't seem to feral in person, despite his writing.

I'm saving my pennies for Harry Potter next month. Oh, and I'll be keeping an eye out for the next Nora Roberts paperback trilogy--she usually puts one out in the beginning of the summer, doesn't she?
