Fall 2024 Reading GROUP

Scholé Holds Spring Reading Group

For the first time in four years, Scholé House hosted a book group, reading Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Road. This dark and dystopian novel follows an unnamed father and son as they leave their city apartment and head towards the sea in hopes of life or at least a warmer climate. The father’s greatest ambition is survival.  His son, a child of about 10, wants something more. There are few people left in this grim, post-apololyptic world, but most of those are very scary, and sometimes it’s hard to tell who the good guys are. The vivid writing, spiritual imagery, and impossible moral scenarios made for lively discussion with our participants.  

We look forward to our next group!
