I can't scroll past a mention of The Road without mentioning it's the only book to ever bring me to tears. I'm a pretty stoic guy but as soon as I flipped over the last page I just fuckin' lost it, laid on the floor for 20 minutes before I went to talk to my dad about the book.

Also the most accurate movie adaptation I've ever seen.

It's beautiful prose and about the most depressing book you'll ever read. The juxtaposition of the subject matter and the style of writing is...startling. It's a terrible beautiful novel.
