Cormac McCarthy The Road:

“Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.

You forget some things, don’t you?

Yes.

You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.”

Finally got tired of the Ted Kennedy brouhaha, turned off the teevee, shut down the computer, and went down to the library (FYI, oldest continuously used library in New York). Picked up the following:

• The Road – Cormac McCarthy
• The Shelters of Stone – Jean M. Auel
• 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus – Charles C. Mann
