John Grady Cole, a young man that is all we should be, or at least a good character.
This reminds me, I only read the first one. Should add the others to my list. Cormac's 2/3 for me. Loved The Road and All the Pretty Horses...did not like Blood Meridian.

Just started "Dune" by Frank Herbert... well, I'm 450 pages in because I cannot put this thing down! Excellent so far. Stoked that there are six in the series.
I've been referencing the glossary in the appendix at times, thinking about reading the whole of the appendicies (sp?)
Should I wait until I finish the book to guard against spoilers?
I read it when it was a trilogy...
they were good, but after 3 I had enough.
