OT: RIP Cormac McCarthy

No Country for Old Men was so epic:

Read The Passenger and Stella Maris. They were OK. Think I might give Blood Meridian a try. Interesting fellow, RIp.

Javier Bardem was perfectly cast as Anton Chigurh. And that captive bolt weapon thingy was chilling.

I was literally just thinking about him 5 minutes ago. Stunning coincidence.

He is not always easy to read, but he will show you the world how it is.

To the poster above contemplating Blood Meridian, do yourself a favor, save that for miserable weather in the winter. It's gonna drag your summer down to read that right now.

That line: "If the rule you followed brought you to this . . .of what use was the rule?"
And so many others in No Country for Old Men.
That movie comes up in mind at random and odd times.

Big fan of his. All the Pretty Horses was very good. But No Country for Old Men, both book and movie, was outstanding.

The Road was very good.

I think I only read Pretty Horses and The Crossing... liked em both. Might have read No Country.. but have seen teh movie a few times and am uncertain about having read the book.. the movie leaving such an indelible image.
