"There's a dozen or more beggars who come here every day, pretending to be cripples, hiring themselves out to the holy men. The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ Does the tree say to the sparrow, 'Get out, you don't belong here?' Does the tree say to the hungry man, 'This fruit is not for you?' Does the tree test the loyalty of the beasts before it allows them into the shade?” That it should be not like a palace with marble walls and polished floors, and guards standing at the door, but like a tree with its roots deep in the soil, that shelters every kind of bird and beast and gives blossom in the spring and shade in the hot sun and fruit in the season, and in time gives up its good sound wood for the carpenter but that sheds many thousands of seeds so that new trees can grow in its place. That it should not condemn, but only forgive. That it should own no property and make no laws. That it should wield no authority except that of love. ![]() “Lord, if I thought you were listening, I'd pray for this above all: that any church set up in your name should remain poor, and powerless, and modest. ![]() ![]() From an Audible point of view, the book is of a manageable length and very well narrated. It is worth noting here that, again like No Country, some of these encounters involve extreme violence and extremely distressing images those of a nervous disposition should certainly beware. Needless to say, our travellers encounter both natural and human challenges in this desolate world and these are the main focus. The story follows ?The Man? and ?The Boy? as they travel a road across the southern United States attempting to get to the coast following an unknown apocalyptic event. Our lead character is in a similar mould to Tommy Lee Jones with his slow, considered speech, there is the lack of a traditional climax, and the story starts with a dream sequence to rival that in No Country. ![]() Well, all of the above factors are present in The Road, in a far greater density than in No Country. ![]() Sure, plenty (including myself) agreed with the critics, but many seemed to think the desolate speech, settings, lack of truly cataclysmic events, and the closing dream sequence were entirely off-putting. No Country received near universal critical acclaim, but in my experience audience reaction was a little more mixed. ![]() I suspect that a lot of people coming to The Road have, like myself, been introduced to McCarthy thanks to the recent film adaptation of No Country for Old Men, and so this is probably a good reference point. ![]() ![]() John Ware read through the first few chapters.

The idea intrigued me, but as I began to look into the mindset of current policymakers, then in the Bush era, I found I was led farther and farther back into history before I could adequately explain what had gone into shaping the impressions, the assumptions, and the preconceptions that each administration's policymakers brought to their jobs. ![]() ![]() ![]() This book grew out of a suggestion by Philip Mattar for an article on the mind-set, or "frame of reference," from which policymakers usually approach the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. I owe many thanks to many people for their help. ![]() ![]() When the book first begins, it's just Cal, the dungeon core and his Wisp, Dani. A human thief is caught, so a necromancer traps his soul in a soul gem and that gem becomes the heart of a dungeon.
