Wow, just finally read this.

Holy shit.

Happy stuff isn't it?

Yeah - I enjoyed it because I love apocalyptic shit but I have to kill the voice that is dying to find out what exactly happened to cause the world to turn to shit. I also want to know WHERE they are but that's really not the point, obviously.

The point is the humanity or lackthereof that comes with being stuck in a hopeless, frightening world with nothing to do but figure out ways to survive until you can't any more and you die.

But I'll be damned if reading this book now that I have a son vs. having read it before my son makes it a completely different experience.

It's been a while, but weren't there some hints that they ended up somewhere on the East coast? Or maybe they were just in present day South Carolina?

The main difference between Peoria and SC is palmetto trees.

I went with Yellowstone erupting.
Which means they would be traveling east.
You're right in that isn't really the point though, it's whatever/wherever you want it to be, which McCarthy did on purpose.
And having kids has for years made it impossible for me to get through watching or reading many things.
A second viewing of Sophie's choice? It's not gonna hai.
