I hang out over at richarddawkins.net, and on pretty rare occasions I post there, but I doubt I'll ever feel like an insider among that crowd. There's lots worth reading, watching or listening to there, however.
On another track, I finished The Road, and enjoyed it all the way through, while feeling just a tad underwhelmed by the ending, at least from a narrative point of view. I'm looking forward to the movie, which does not seem likely to me to be a mainstream hit. |
I loved 'The Road'. To tell the truth, I didn't find the ending to be at all hopeful or optimistic- it just sort of spoke of the idea of hope even at the end of all things. I am very much looking forward to the movie.
I just realized that since you added spoilers, I probably should have as well, but since the book has been out for quite some time I don't think we're giving too much away.
