That part where they rode horses and the sunset and the sky was then the moon came up and the ground was lit blue and the stars were up and the woke up the next morning and rode and the sun was up and the sky was blue and the rocks were red and the distance was wavy with the heat and their shadows stretched across the land and they rode

I love McCarthy but I don't get why this is considered his greatest work. Child of God >>> No Country > The rest

No country is one of his weakest books, what are you talking about. The film is better in almost every aspect, rare example of the film being better

Is that the scene where the two retards fight each other for no reason and then wake up in jail. One of my favorite scenes right after the one glanton gang member gets shanked to death by a Mexican and he's just like meh I'm killed.

It gained a bandwagon status big enough to get clueless people onboard so that they can seem intelligent. McCarthy’s books in general are full of fancy words but the substance is genre trash tier. People who want to seem intelligent love to gush about ’prose’ and fancy words.

lol you’ll need to be more specific this happens more than once.

The best part of that scene was that it was caused by a funeral clown throwing fire crackers and the gang wigged out and starting shooting up the saloon.
