Ok, but don't expect to feel good at any point.

The Judge is both irresistible and terrifying.  And the prose is beautiful.

The Road wasn't exactly a walk through the park. Perhaps part of the reason why I read it straight through in one evening?

I'll give it a shot. I'm man enough  :D

Finished Blood Meridian by McCarthy a week ago and just finished All the Pretty Horses by him as well.

Both good books. Both entirely different books.

Nice.  I read ATPH too recently.  Different indeed, but both good.

Did you read the rest of the trilogy? I might pick up the next.

I'd like to get No Country for Old Men yet and see how I feel.

Blood Meridian was probably one of the toughest books I've ever read. In a good way though. I loved McCarthy's play between biblical connotations and evil characters.

No.  I've heard ATPH is the best of the batch and I was getting a little McCarthy overdose, so I jumped into some other stuff for now.  Probably will get to them sometime, but now I'm gonna wait until you read them and give me your take.  ;)

Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad.

Halfway through Tom Clancy. Been busy. The book is about 6 inches thick. Its actually pretty interesting. Part of the plot involves Russia invading Crimea.
