pike out here slanderin my manderin ol' cormac! i love it, honest takes are rare to find.
I like Cormac but I always thought The Road was one of his weaker books. For me, I thought he wrote himself into a corner, and the ending therefore felt contrived. Hope you're enjoying Dombey and Son. I think it's Dickens's most mature work up to that point in his career
@irony-machine: thankee! It's just a sucky little cold so can't complain too much but it is annoying.
@nohappynonsense: most of my book club people loved The Road but it's because I was ill and couldn't attend the meeting to talk them out of it. To each his own and all that! I get surprisingly wounded when people diss my favourites.
@readingproject: I am enjoying Dombey and Son, I find Dickens so relaxing and the language so enjoyable. However, I wish his good characters where a touch less angelic, but I saw the same thing in Shelley's Frankenstein so it might just be a XIXc. thing? However, it's still full of amazing types like Cuttle, Toots, etc. and the Edith-Mother-Dombey-Carker dymanic is very interesting.
