Post #2

In case you're wondering what I've been reading, they're two completely opposite books. The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a bleak look at the future. It's well-written and all, but be prepared for vivid descriptions of grayness and the things desperate people may do in the case of a nuclear annihilation of the human race. (Well, maybe it was just an asteroid that hit the earth--he never says exactly.)

My church book group chose The Ultimate Gift, a quick read describing the 12 keys to a happy life (as long as you don't get caught in a nuclear war or maybe get in the way of a stray asteroid). They were both thought-provoking in their own way.

Edited to add: Since you 3 readers are lucky, Elise broke into my blog and posted the pictures for me!
