John Grady Cole, a young man that is all we should be, or at least a good character. [thumbsup]



This reminds me, I only read the first one. Should add the others to my list. Cormac's 2/3 for me. Loved The Road and All the Pretty Horses...did not like Blood Meridian.

Just started "Dune" by Frank Herbert... well, I'm 450 pages in because I cannot put this thing down! Excellent so far. Stoked that there are six in the series.

I've been referencing the glossary in the appendix at times, thinking about reading the whole of the appendicies (sp?)

Should I wait until I finish the book to guard against spoilers?
I read it when it was a trilogy...

they were good, but after 3 I had enough.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

It's an easy read.
Punch teenagers
Drink beer.
Boobies for fun and profit.
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.
