This past week, Oprah Winfrey made some history with her book club. For the first time ever she picked a book that involved post-apocalyptic cannibalism, specifically Cormac McCarthy’s The Road.

To Kako. (RESPONSE TO THIS REVIEW) (SEND A LETTER)George: I just thought I’d congratulate you on the best pitch ever put up on CHUD: `How do you say "poop" in Greek? To Kako.` I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but apart from evil, that actually does mean poop. Once more, you had me … Continue reading
