Cormac McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy died recently. He is one of the writers that I’ve long intended to get to but never did. He is best known for his western and postapocalyptic novels, several that were made into movies. Probably among his best-known books are All the Pretty Horses, The Road, and No Country for Old Men. I will get to him. I guess it really doesn’t matter, but I feel a little bad that I didn’t read him while he was still alive.

My perfect day is sitting in a room with some blank paper. That’s heaven. That’s gold and anything else is a waste of time.
