Cormac McCarthy has died
I haven't read any of his work yet, but I should probably get around to it.

prepare yourself for bold artistic statements delivered without punctuation that makes it really difficult to understand whos talking when because real men dont use commas apostrophes or quotation marks.

I have loved the books of his that I've read, and looking forward to reading more of them.

I'm sorry about his death.
I wasn't a fan of the one book of his that I've read, Blood Meridian. That's actually quite an understatement, but I don't think this is the right thread for this kind of criticism. |

I had no idea he was so old! I did enjoy The Road (as much as something like that can be enjoyed).

A literary genius of the first rank. Brilliant in his use of unmediated dialogue, similar to José Saramago, William Gaddis, and William Faulkner. He elevated the human condition by his sophisticated use of language to explore possibilities inherent in the best of humankind. I admired his work very much.
