I'm going to get started on it soon - I'm on a serious Apocalypse kick right now... In the last few weeks I've read World War Z, The Handmaid's Tale, The World Without Us, Akira, and (re-read) The Road. I am a hundred pages into Good Omens - as soon as I'm done with THAT, I'll hit it up.
As an aside, The Road (and, indeed, Cormac McCarthy in general) isn't everyone's cup of tea (by a long shot), but it is his most "accessible" work, and there is no denying the man's genius as a writer.... I urge everyone to give it a chance, at least.
