I haven't read all of those, so not a bad list for me to tackle myself. <BR/><BR/>But the Road: Isn't that novel only impressive to literary types who don't read genre and know that it's not much different or better than a hundred different post-apocalypse stories?

As in - what the hell happened?Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06253283912625352263noreply@blogger.com
