You might think I've disappeared. Well, sort of. It's been a rough last 4 weeks being on vacation 97% of the time. So I'm a little behind on posting my reads, but believe me, there have been plenty.
I started reading Cormac McCarthy several years ago when I picked up Child of God. I then became mildly obsessed with him and read four other books which led me to All The Pretty Horses. But after that one I lost interest and haven't picked him up until now.
As one of my friend's remarked, The Road was his most universally accessible book. It frightened me and broke my heart. His sparse language was a reflection of the world he so successfully portrayed. And I believed it - I truly believed this world he described could exist in our future. Like I said, scary. Very well done. Recommended. Sad.
