That Didn't Age Well

The Phantom Of The Opera!
Or as I like to call it, One Woman's Fight For Bodily Autonomy.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy:
"If he is not the word of God, God never spoke." It's a line spoken by The Man, unnamed, early on in the 2007 Pulitzer Prize winning novel, "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. It's this line, elegiac and moving, infused with despair and hope, that informs you, you're not reading something you'll easily forget.
