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?

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.

Also, slavery is illegal in Peoria.

Well, this is odd.

Quote
A domestic dispute over space aliens escalated Saturday morning when a lingerie-clad New Mexico woman allegedly pointed a silver handgun at her boyfriend, a weapon she retrieved from her vagina, where it had been placed while the accused was performing a sex act, police allege.

To make matters more strange, the arrested woman, Jennifer McCarthy, is the most recent ex-wife of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Cormac McCarthy, author of "The Road" and "No Country for Old Men."
