I read the entirety of The Road in one sitting while on vacation at the Oregon coast. I was on the beach in this windbreak made out of driftwood while a cold wind blew a thick gray fog across the gray sand, occasionally allowing a glimpse of the gray ocean. No sound except the wind and the sea. Every time that book is mentioned here I think of that day.

In terms of nostalgia, I am exactly the first book’s target audience, so I think that helped.

Ready Player Two. I enjoyed the first book for what it was, but the second… yeesh.

Honorable mention to The Pillars of the Earth. Can’t believe I actually finished that one.
