Rant: People keep calling our book club's 'The Road' debate a simple 'optimism vs pessimism' thing
Honestly, after rereading it for the third time, the real fight is about whether the man's love for his son is a selfish act or the only moral choice left. Has anyone else's group gotten stuck on that specific line in the grocery store scene?

So you're saying the feeling is just a cover for what we want from someone?

Flip it. Maybe the selfish question only matters in a world that still has room for choices.
