Update: I read The Road to cheer myself up after a bad week and made it worse
I picked it up in Boise two nights ago thinking a survival story would snap me out of a funk, then finished it in one sitting at 3am just staring at the wall. My wife found me in the kitchen making coffee like nothing happened, and I couldn't explain why I felt so gutted. What book did that to you, where you went in expecting one thing and walked out feeling worse?
