- thombles 1y agoI gifted it to a couple of new Dad friends. They never did get back to me about it. Fair.
- ycombinete 1y agoI can see why, but as a new father the last thing I want my fatherhood associated with is that horrible horrible story.
- elephant81 1y agoI've read it twice. Once as a naive 16-year-old. Once, as a young father. Profoundly upsetting the second time.

- Cruncharoo 1y agoI'd also suggest Siddhartha for this. Having read it at different points of my life makes it uniquely special.
- virgil_disgr4ce 1y agoI read The Road long before I became a father and part of me is, I guess, afraid to read it again now that I have two kids—perhaps because I remember how devastating it was then and suspecting it would be 100x that now. But I do intend to reread it sooner or later.
