We only read this book once - The Road (2006) Part 3

Apocalypse and endings. Literature. Meaning. It all blows away on the sands of a dead shore. A counterspectacle of what was, alighting some part of how it came to be, yes, and some part of what it could have been. We are ruinous creatures, aren't we?

This week: the end of Cormac McCarthy's legendary novel The Road and it's bleak. Shocker.
