Welcome back dear listener. We are here again with a new book and a new episode. Our book for today is The Road, a 2006 post-apocalyptic novel by American writer Cormac McCarthy. This book explores the theme of fatherhood among others. We realize this is not an easy read at times but we believe it is worth it in the end.

Happy Thanksgiving! We hope this book was a cornucopia of reading delight. Seriously though, we hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did. At first blush it may seem like a zany, offbeat comedy and thats about it, but we think there is more going on under the surface. Hopefully our conversation is helpful in untangling - just a little bit - this nihilistic sci-fi. So enjoy some Turkey and Mashed Potatoes and wash it down with a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster and have a great Thanksgiving
