Books - What are you reading?

I fucking love Cormac McCarthy. I read The Road when it came out and was impressed, but it was only a few years later when I got given Suttree as a present that I got hooked. His prose is just so good. After I finished Suttree I immediately read the Border Trilogy, No Country for Old Men and Blood Meridian. Which, looking back on it, was a pretty fucking bleak few months of reading.

I too hurled my way through The Road and No Country, then I watched the corresponding films, No Country I thought was excellent, but The Road was just so bleak (as is the book) I struggled to get through it. The Road also feels quite disjointed, just a series of scenes without plot (sound the Epic Twat alert). As is life, so in that respect it's a good representation, though with a post-apocalyptic bent.
