I'm gonna use a bunch of overwritten, turgid, purple prose, and not use quotation marks because I'm an ARTIST.

The Road was also fantastic. I tried reading another about a drunk guy who lived on a boat but it was too accurate a description of homeless people and I couldn't handle it

Bitter Mushroom posted:there are american ... books? Yes and also American whiskey, it's called bourbon and they pair well together although I'd recommend some sort of faith based intervention be setup IN ADVANCE because a month of your life will fly by and all your dreams will be about people cutting each others scalps off or being drunk, on a boat

No Country for Old Men was pretty cool, sucks that the dude got killed offscreen by some random people and then bardem still cucks his wife after death.

Cool Blue Reason posted:The Counselor was good. The Counselor is that sign that all old writers get that they are probably out of ideas and just spinning the wheels. It reads like McCarthy fan-fiction. See: Garcia Marquez - Memories of my Melancholy Whores, Norman Mailer- Castle in the Forest, etc.

no he's not because his fame gave us the best Daily News headline ever by miles running. Cormac McCarthy’s ex-wife busted after pulling gun from vagina during alien argument
