What Book Did You Read Last Night??? (2 Viewers)

it came out month to month
Weekly!

Just finished Blood Meridian, which is the best book I've ever read, very white male of me, I know, but it's like spellbinding.

Now reading The Vorrh, which I'm getting into after a bit of a false start last time. I like the premise is about ancient sentient forest older than mankind which contains the garden of eden, cannibal spawn of Adam and other cool shit
The Vorrh was good but the rest of the series didn’t really sustain the quality. Not to be a negative nelly while you’re enjoying a book but here I am.
 
yeah, Blood Meridian. Its Cormac McCarthy, right?

I read No Country and The Road and I thought both were grand but grim.
It is, yeah. It’s a completely different style to those two. They are really sparse, short sentences whereas Blood Meridian is much more “literary” for want of a better word. I really like No Country and The Road but Blood Meridian is his masterpiece.

ok gonna pick it up when I get a chance. cheers
 
Well, if it's grim you are trying to avoid get stuck into Blood Meridian...

Read Limmy's autobiography. I like Limmy, but I was getting a bit tired of hearing about his cock.
 
Strange Sally Diamond. Great opening to a book, "My dad always said to put him out with the bins when he died, so I did."

But
jaysis, was the ending bleak. My wife gave it to me to read on our holliers, and when I finished it I was outraged, "why'd you make me read that on holidays?!!" Put me in a right mood, so it did.
 
Started into Blood Meridian last night because of you lot shiteing on about it.

Hopefully I still have the ability to still read things longer than 4 pages.
