I'm about Half way through Cities of the Plain by Cormac McCarthy and its so so beautiful. The lack of punctuation has made the conversations between characters much more life-like with conversation centred around horses and campfires and the dramatic changes in the west. Maybe its gripped me because the west is a place of constant reinvention and yet these Vaqueros struggle to manage the change, or maybe its the old biblical themes lingering throughout the story.
Have you read much else by Cormac McCarthy? I've not read Cities of The Plain but have read the other 2 books in the Border Trilogy and enjoyed them for similar to reasons to why you seems to enjoy that.

I'd well recommend it to anyone though!
