22 February. London
A belated thought on "The Road": I found this a beautifully written book, poetic even. One of the bestw ritten books I have read in recent years. But, but the subject is gruelling, and although I looked for and found something uplifting elements in the story, I cannot say I really enjoyed the story. I had to read it in one sitting. But it was tough. I have no interest, for example, in seeing the film, which is showing all over London at the moment. I am tempted to read other McCarthy books now.
