I just finished reading "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. What an intense story!

For those of you unfamiliar, it's about a man and his son on a post apocalyptic journey thru a nuclear(?)* winter in a dead world, evading the only people left to avoid starvation and cannibals. They are following a road "south" to the sea to find warmer climate. It's scary, touching and ultimately grim. I highly recommend it.

*We never really know for sure what caused the destruction. It could be caused by a comet or giant meteor impact. But thru brief flashbacks, we know fire and ash destroyed all plant and most all animal and human life.

It is depressing, but also vivd. Really, though, it's a story of love and devotion. That's always good.
