by majority rules, our first read will be The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Flagged to be McCarthy's masterpiece (by the back cover), The Road is (and I quote) 'the searing, postapocalyptic novel' about a father, son, and their journey in a future where no hope remains. "The Road is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation." (again, back cover quote). as for awards, this took a Pulitzer and (you guessed it), an official inaugural into Oprah's Book Club (2007).
happy reading!
