No Counrty For Old Men #2

My outside readin book is No Country For Old Men. I still have not really started this book yet. So far in the book this guy is about to be put to death for murdering sombody. He is in prison and he is being taken to the electrical chair. They put him down in the electrical chair and he grabs the sheriffs hand and throws him to the ground. He murders about 3 people I think to get out of prison. Some how nobody noticed any of this happen and he gets away unseen and unharmed. Since I am now finished with reading The Road hopefully I will have time over to break to read at least 100 some pages. When I finish this book I want to watch the movie and compare the movie to the book to see which one I enjoy more.

No Counrty For Old Men

For my outside reading book I am reading No Counrty For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy. The reason I chose this book is because I am really enjoying the book The Road and I thought I would try another one of his books to see if I like it. I have not yet started the book yet but I have heard good reviews on both the book and the movie. I have not seen the movie yet but I have been wanting to for awhile now. All I know about the story is that a guy finds a pickup truck surrounded by a group of dead men. Inside the truck is a load of heroin and two million dollars. The guy takes the money and sets off. In my opinion I think that sounds really good and I am hoping it will be just as good as The Road.

The Road

In Guys And Lit I am readin The Road. So far the book is suprisingly really good. I have only read about 30 pages so far and im really enjoying it. I think that the plot is really well done. the story is about a father and sun trying to survive and make their way to the Eastern Coast of North America. The entire North America is blown away by what I think might be a nuclear bomb since there is radiation everywhere. As the father and son travel East, each of them have few to none possessions and have to wear masks so they don't breath in the bad air. Little does the son know about his father and his sickness which will later on effect both of them in the story.
Right now i have not chosen an outside reading book but i am planning to choose one tomorrow for sure since I need it for Friday.
