the oldest has to read The Road by Cormac McCarthy for school. Thoughts from those who have read it? I know it is pretty bleak - Beaker May 5, 12:02 7
- it's one of his milder ones I would say. Bleak to the point of despair but it's not as harsh as Blood Meridian -- nm - decline May 5, 12:12 1
  - Blood Meridian is awesome, so good. Fucking relentless though, can't believe I finished it. Superb writing, but brutal. -- nm - mud May 5, 12:15

- "He's surprisingly jacked." -- nm - Dark Callisto May 5, 12:12
- I like it. -- nm - Remlik May 5, 11:47
- I 'll buy Esposito in almost any role, but Superman should be more Mike Colter -ish. -- nm - mud May 5, 11:37 1

- I have a bunch of pink in my regular rotation of clothes and sneakers. It looks great with brown. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 11:20 3
  - Not questioning the stylishness of it. Just shocked by how recent the phenomenon of “pink = girl” is, and how arbitrary and fickle, too. -- nm - Mop May 5, 11:49 2
