Ok, but don't expect to feel good at any point.
The Judge is both irresistible and terrifying. And the prose is beautiful.
The Road wasn't exactly a walk through the park. Perhaps part of the reason why I read it straight through in one evening? I'll give it a shot. I'm man enough  |

Finished Blood Meridian by McCarthy a week ago and just finished All the Pretty Horses by him as well.
Both good books. Both entirely different books.

Nice. I read ATPH too recently. Different indeed, but both good. |

Did you read the rest of the trilogy? I might pick up the next. I'd like to get No Country for Old Men yet and see how I feel. Blood Meridian was probably one of the toughest books I've ever read. In a good way though. I loved McCarthy's play between biblical connotations and evil characters. |

No. I've heard ATPH is the best of the batch and I was getting a little McCarthy overdose, so I jumped into some other stuff for now. Probably will get to them sometime, but now I'm gonna wait until you read them and give me your take.  Blood Meridian was probably one of the toughest books I've ever read. In a good way though. I loved McCarthy's play between biblical connotations and evil characters.

Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad.
“The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it much.”

Halfway through Tom Clancy. Been busy. The book is about 6 inches thick. Its actually pretty interesting. Part of the plot involves Russia invading Crimea.
