"You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget"

I've been thinking about this book I read on my flight home from CA the other day, The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Going into the novel, I had no idea what it was about, but didn't quite expect it to be so ... bleak. Yet so optimistic?

It's one of those narratives that gets in your head, makes you think and causes great unease. At least, that's what it did for me.

I also spent some time wondering who might do a good job portraying the main fella in a film. Hugh Jackman? Thomas Jane? Who knew it was already made into a movie? With Viggo Mortensen! Good job on the casting, boys.
