I bet Dave’s on the road with Bobby Western searching for a country across the meridian.

All my horses are pretty horses.

On a very distantly related topic, have you read Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson? It too is on the road although a different one than either Cormac's or Jack's.

No, but I will!

ALCON, if LW recommends a book, there’s a 98% chance it’s good.

Re: No, but I will!

It's different from my usual fare, but someone gave it to me a decade ago and I found it moving in a Scandinavian sort of way. The same friend gave me Jose Saramago's Blindness, which was equally memorable if more disturbing. And of course Pushkin. . .

There are so many books, so much music, and yet life is so short.

Suttree was my favorite CM book. Great author.

I need to read it again. It was one of those books where I got…

hung up on the language and lost the story some.

Is that the one about the fisherman on the river? (Simplistic but I don’t want to throw out any spoilers.)

Related: There should be a three year limit after which something cannot be spoiled. Maybe one year.

Re: DAVE! Cormac McCarthy died.

I had no clue who he was. You made me google him. This is so unfair.
