Karen's Tuesday

Hey! It's me! I haven't been doing much reading lately, I'm at the tail end of Kim right now and then I think I'll start on the next circus book I have. I'll share about that on Monday if I do actually start it. I'm terrible at paying attention and keeping track of good quotes while I'm reading, so instead I will share a book that I have read that I really liked. I've read a lot this year but I think I will go with The Road by Cormac McCarthy. It is a post-apocalyptic book about a man and his son who are trying to survive the harsh weather as well as the people who you might say did not mentally survive the apocalypse and have become cannibalistic crazies who are also trying to survive and out to get whatever is in their way. It's sort of sad and disturbing and inspiring and moving all at once. It's not for everyone in terms of both content and writing style, but I really enjoyed it. There is actually a movie on it coming out this year. Well, that's my contribution for the day. I'll try to keep up this week.
