That's a long time...anyway I figured if you're reading one Cormac book why not another. :)Johanna Garthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515478890074610814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-36142314971291050752013-05-13T10:58:44.588-04:002013-05-13T10:58:44.588-04:00I'm going to try something different and respo...I'm going to try something different and respond via email to those that have email addresses connected to the comments. Probably. We'll see. <br /><br />I agree with Karen - time is too precious and it seems to be moving more quickly the older I get. What's with that?<br /><br />I decided to tear apart the first adult novel (not that kind of adult novel) I wrote to get it to the point of being publishable. I worked on the first third this morning with about 20 interruptions.Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-17871651989016606292013-05-13T07:37:53.036-04:002013-05-13T07:37:53.036-04:00My husband loves Cormac McCarthy and has read all ...My husband loves Cormac McCarthy and has read all his work.

I won't name it here, but the sex and graphic violence in it appalled me, and I am usually very open-minded about such things.<br /><br />Is Faulkner's As I Lay Dying on your list? I know a lot of people hate that book, but I remember really liking it when I read it in high school. Weird, but fascinating.Dianne K.
