Assignment 2-David Butler

Not gonna lie, i have not read many books in the last year, i've been off and on incredibly busy and i'm usually someone that to relax doesn't sit down and read a book. I know I probably should do this more often but habits are hard to break. Out of the books i could likely count on a single hand i would probably say that my favorite was The road by Cormac McCarthy. It was a deep delve into the mindset of a father and his son in a world turned to ash. It had burned for some unknown reason and as fire spread across the world it turned to chaos. It is very interesting and it uses such strong and striking language that it really grabs you. One thing that I thought added a lot was the fact that the father and son were referred to as the man and boy which I felt really helped set the readers mindset for a world without rules, culture, and or society. It was an interesting take and variation off the generic and overdone apocalyptic story. Other things I have enjoyed are the Lord of the Rings books which I am still reading. I took a short break from reading but I plan on finishing it semi-soon. Me not finishing many books may reflect laziness but i feel that i rarely am doing nothing and my free time is always full of a fair mixture of useful activities.
