well, when you put it like that yeah the book is kinda shitty. I like it, not love, but like it. However, i'll honestly admit that the majority of this book is describing the mexican landscape and how the hicks go about riding, walking, or camping in it.

I feel the themes were sorta catchy, but it's definitely not McCorncob's best work by a long shot. I'd still read it over anything by Woolf.

I'm only halfway through it but I LOVE it. It's really amazing how McCarthy's prose is able to make such bleak and horrible things sound almost kind of beautiful.

I love how (so far) it's just this tale of constant violence and misery happening with these shitty people, it really captures this atmosphere of pure awfulness but without being just a generic psychopath/horror story.

The climactic parts such as the first encounter with the savages, and also the story Tobin tells to The Kid about The Judge saving everyone by making gunpowder before they were attacked by the savages at one point were some of the most gripping and exciting experiences I've had with a book recently.

I feel like with each chapter the books is practically daring you to keep going, but it's also extremely rewarding because there's always a payoff to the more "slow" parts.

I already spoiled some of the most major stuff, so it's too late for that.

weak bait, sage and move on

>it's a Judge picks up a cannon and blasts red skinned niggers episode

The way McCarthy describes the desert actually made me want to tke a trip to the northern narco filled part of my country.

This book is awesome. You're probably missing a lot, or aren't in a position where you're interests are aligned with what Cormac is offering so you don't appreciate it.

>>9211045
McCarthy's writing style has been compared to Faulkner.

So, s4s found us when these garbage threads pop up so often?

Stopped right there, plot-reading scum.

Lonesome dove is less po-mo and pretentious, but good nonetheless.

>>9207673
shit this sounds fucking right up my alley, thanks anon.

you aint nothin
*spits*
ye

I don't understand how you can't at least enjoy the Biblical styling of the prose, it's beautiful.

I don't like it. I need speech marks. I hate unnamed protagonists, it's a meme trope I fucking hate so much.

AND THE RACISM! Unbelievable.

>>9211045
My garbage can writes with about the same talent.
