Am I the only serious reader who dislikes Cormac McCarthy? As I mentioned in another post, I found the beginning of "All the Pretty Horses" a snore job. I couldn't finish "Blood Meridian" because of the over-the-top descriptions of EVERYTHING, from sunsets and mountains to pus and vomit. Plus no inner life of any of the characters.
