Before I Get Too Depressed....

"It's going to seriously make you depressed, but it's so well done that you will love it!" She said as she sat on the edge of her chair. We were talking about books and she wanted me to read this one, THE ROAD.

I came home pretty excited about it and started to tell Andrew how I wanted to get this book. He said, "Why would you want to read something that's going to make you so depressed?!?" Hmmm... I thought.

Days later, at Barnes and Nobles- our favorite place, I was deciding between three books and I grabbed The Road to read the back cover (which I normally hate to do). As I was reading, another passionate woman approached me and loudly said "Get it! You'll LOVE it! You'll need some Prozac afterwards, but you'll LOVE it!"

$16.00, 2 days and 190 pages later, I am in love!

It's the only book I've needed complete silence to be able to read... So, while I read, Andrew watches the TV on mute (aww, that means he loves me).
I will have it finished by tonight, but I wanted to recommend it before I became too depressed. I'll let you know.

UPDATE: I finished it. I loved it. It was beautifully written and extremely engaging. It didn't make me "depressed", does that make me weird?
