Sooooooo, /book/...

What. The. Fuck.
Really, i dont know why exactly, but why the hell does this book does not have chapters and "quotes" when someone is saying "something or anything, like this"

Why?
i ordered this book a long time ago and started it right there becasue some anon in 7chan's /lit/ told me about this book having a same plot or lesson or theme or story what ever you want to call it about a Dad having a son and have them go against the world.
I loved "The Pursuit of Happyness" so the anon decided to recommend me "The Road"

I have managed to successfully avoid this book and get on with my other books. i read them all and i still have not finished this one.

Now, i just ordered another book from Chris Gardner, "Life Lessons: Where you want are to where you want to be" something like that and i know i will successfully procrastinate on reading this book like i been doing.

i dont know guys.
what is your opinion on this book?
any of you litfags ever had a similar problem like evading a book you had on your hand and saying to yourself "I'll read it when i am done with this one"?

Yeah, the road doesn't have quotation marks for dialogue. It's a more common style than you think. And it happens to be something McCarthy does in all his books.

But I find that it is easy to tell what is dialogue and what is not. He's a good writer.
