For fans of Cormac McCarthy’s book The Road
Some extracts here:
I have a great sympathy for the spiritual view of life, and I think that it’s meaningful. But am I a spiritual person? I would like to be.
I have the same letter from about six different people. One from Australia, one from Germany, one from England, but they all said the same thing. They said, “I started reading your book after dinner and I finished it 3:45 the next morning, and I got up and went upstairs and I got my kids up and I just sat there in the bed and held them.”
There’s not much you can do to try to make a child into something that he’s not. But whatever he is, you can sure destroy it.

Randy, we watched a movie that touches on a similar topic that I think you would like. It is called Vitus. He is a child who is very gifted and his parents try to push him too hard. The outcome is quite interesting. I highly recommend it. Dave
