by Cormac McCarthy

:) I left my cowboy in Texas. Maybe my problem with the book is that the years I spent growing up in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas around "cowboys" were not my favorite years.

But I do indeed really enjoy his writing style. The lack of quotation marks is great because it blurs the lines between spoken words and thoughts and environments, so it's really closer to how we experience reality. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40943800 to: The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein

I have to say Brian, I have not seen anyone in this forum use so many words to say absolutely nothing.
