That's a great read... once you get used to all the scalpings. Kinda made me sick after a while. But I also really enjoy McCarthy's style.metalmountain wrote:"Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West" by Cormac McCarthy is an awesome read I am working through. McCarthy's writing style is awesome, and it makes you slow down and really read the story. He is up there with Faulkner and Kafka for me as favorite authors now I believe.
I am reading Shantaram as well. Completely agree. Could be my favorite book ever.Zenn wrote:Currently reading "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts: So very good.
Other good reads:
Ishamael
The Story of B
Deep Survival: Who lives, who dies and why (awesome)
Tao Te Ching
365 Taoist Meditations (awesome)
Colorado (14er) Disasters
and at random, the DSM IV

Wow, I ran across this one too, last November."Yelping with Cormac" (i.e., faux Yelp reviews in the style of McCarthy): http://yelpingwithcormac.tumblr.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's hilarious! Thanks for the reminder, as I had forgotten about it.
