SO

I just finished The Road by Cormac Mccarthy. It was excellent. I had a little trouble getting into it initially because of the pace, but once I hit page 60, I was flying. I am really looking forward to the movie. The director, John Hillcoat, is a favorite, and Viggo Mortensen is obviously a crazy man in the best way possible.

After I finished the book, I still didn't want to put it down. I had a physical attachment to it. It felt like we'd grown together. When I originally got the book, it was crisp and new, and now only a few weeks later, a page was falling out, the corners were bent, the book had softened, etc...
I feel like this is getting personal.

Anyways, this isn't Buenos Aires related, except for the fact that I finished it on my trip to Punta del Este in Uruguay, which is near Buenos Aires.

Pictures from the beach to come. For now, here is a video I deem appropriate for this post.
