On the Cormac McCarthy topic I've only read Blood Meridian. Equally bleak, astounding, revolting and beautiful.
One battlefield scene description where cannonballs fly through the fields and are described as something like "miniature suns hot and white scything through the corn." I've just butchered his prose through my falacious paraphrasing but that always stuck with me.
Yea I had to really take my time with that book because of his style of writing (my first CM book). I loved The Judge character though...what a cold figure of doom he is.
