Book: Cormac McCarthy's "All the Pretty Horses"

Post by Shafpocalypse Now »

Someone told me I was missing out, by not reading any Cormac McCarthy. So, I started with the first book of his Border Trilogy.

Not bad. There was quite a bit of hype about this book, and the Border Trilogy, but I wasn't floored by it.

It's set in 1949, and it's a story about two young men who drop their lives in Texas and ride over the border.

Next it'll be "No Country for Old Men". Since the movies coming out, I might as well see what it's about.
