I am currently reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy - esentially because I found out that Bethesda has cited it as one of the main influences on the plot for Fallout 3.

Must say that I'm not particularly impressed with it - the sentence structure is often stunted and the gritty realism and sense of desperation is often lost in the repetition of dull, insipid dialogue. There are moments of lucid, vivid description - but not quite as much as I was hoping for.

However, the relationship it portrays between a father and son over the course of their journey in a post-apocalyptic America is strongly carried throughout - I just don't see how it relates to the Fallout world at all other than its similar setting and smaller aspects of its atmosphere.
