just wanted to add some quotes that really stood out to me. I love how open St Augustine is with his early life and his sinfulness

“We learn better in a free spirit of curiosity than under fear and compulsion.”

“What a person does against his will is not to his own credit, even if what he does is good in itself.”

“man’s insatiable desire for the poverty he calls wealth… the infamy he knows as fame”

Have really enjoyed the last 35 pages or so. There is a deep comfort that McCarthy creates when the man and the boy find the shelter. After reading of all this dread on the road you almost feel the relief of finding shelter as much as the characters do.
