  6. #Books #CormackMcCarthy #TheRoad #TheMan #TheBoy

    Re-sharing this from "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy, it's so good.

    "He was a long time going to sleep. After a while he turned and looked at the man. His face in the small light streaked with black from the rain like some old-world thespian. Can I ask you something? he said.
    Yes. Of course.
    Are we going to die?
    Sometime. Not now.
    And we're still going south.
    Yes.
    So we'll be warm.
    Yes.
    Okay.
    Okay what?
    Nothing. Just okay.
    Go to sleep.
    Okay.
    I'm going to blow out the lamp. Is that okay?
    Yes. That's okay.
    And then later in the darkness: Can I ask you something?
    Yes. Of course you can.
    What would you do if I died?
    If you died I would want to die too.
    So you could be with me?
    Yes. So I could be with you.
    Okay.
    He lay listening to the water drip in the woods. Bedrock, this. The cold and the silence. The ashes of the late world carried on the bleak and temporal winds to and fro in the void. Carried forth and scattered and carried forth again. Everything uncoupled from its shoring. Unsupported in the ashen air. Sustained by a breath, trembling and brief. If only my heart were stone.

  7. Trace the back of the man made serpent
    Pock marked, black and weather beaten
    It cuts right through the mountains
    Chokes the life from the fields
    Has no need for trees
    Crushes flowers
    Tramples weeds
    Its needs -
    Wheels

    GUARDIAN

    The road is shrouded, the view obscured
    The world no longer seems the same
    Do I let myself get lost
    Will I give way to paths
    Unseen, yet present
    Transitory
    Yet profound
    I walk
    On

  9. Just finished 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy.

    While reading it, I noticed that all the contractions of the form 'word+not' (e.g. don't, won't, isn't, weren't) drop their apostrophe to give dont, wont, isnt, werent, etc.

    However, all the other contactions are written as you'd expect, with an apostrophe.

    Can anyone more literate than me explain why this stylistic device might have been employed?

  10. @mielcarz @clive Was going to say the list should be published with only the Tenacious D song, but as I was doing so I remembered this one by the Kinks. The Road by The D should still be #1
