Usually I have a book already selected as the next to read. But a three-day book didn’t leave me much time for wandering. Then too, it’s a reluctant parting from McCarthy and while I have a few others left of his to read, I save them as promises on the shelf.
Maybe a short story anthology, Munro or Taylor. Or maybe something foreign like Ishiguro or Forster. Old time, from Dickens or Austen. Hemingway’s adventures, or Fitzgerald’s society of another era.
Or maybe just a spin of the wheel.
The Lost Children: A Charity Anthology
If you can handle more dystopia, an interesting place to go after The Road would be Saramago’s Blindness.
Well, I checked it out and it’s definitely something I’ll want so I added it to my wish list at Amazon. Thank you. In the meantime though, I need to take something off the shelves…
