On the last pages of Cormac McCarthy's "the Road". I saw the movie last winter, and I have to say it's one of the best book-to-movie adaptations ever. That being said, I'm slightly sad that I didn't read the book first, as the language is very bare and the images from the movie tend to flood my mind while reading it - but since I think it was perfectly cast and the cinematography was really impressive I have no real reason to complain.
