Thoughts? Is this the best book by Cormac?

I don't remember it very well, but I felt it was a little overlong for what it was. My favorite McCarthy is still BM and the first two books of the border trilogy. Cities of the Plain sucked, though.

Blood Meridian is probably the best, but this is definitely his second best, though

Does anybody actually think that? Blood Meridian and Suttree are clearly the best ones.

The Road was a brutal and fantastic book you all are just too gay to admit that it was better than blood meridian because it didn't have a bunch of gay men up words like The Dad Cromed This Plat of B'eans Overe Th' Gullet of Th' Youth

The Road was worse and more gay. You sound gay. You are probably gay.

>Used to be a hobo right smart. back in the thirties. They wasnt no work I dont care what you could do. I was ridin through the mountains one night, state of Colorado. Dead of winter it was and bitter cold. I had just a smidgin of tobacco, bout enough for one or two smokes. I was in one of them old slatsided cars and I'd been up and down in it like a dog tryin to find some place where the wind wouldnt blow. Directly I scrunched up in a corner and rolled me a smoke and lit it and thowed the match down. Well, they was some sort of stuff in the floor about like tinder and it caught fire. I jumped up and stomped on it and it aint done nothin but burn faster. Wasnt two minutes the whole car was afire. I run to the door and got it open and we was goin up this grade through the mountains in the snow with the moon on it and it was just blue looking and dead quiet out there and them big old black pine trees going by. I jumped for it and lit in a snowbank and what I'm goin to tell you you'll think peculiar but it's the god's truth. That was in nineteen and thirty one and if I live to be a hunnerd year old I dont think I'll ever see anything as pretty as that train on fire goin up that mountain and around the bend and them flames lightin up the snow and the trees and the night.

Indolent narcissist bastard trying to escape any type of responsibility for his life, or actions. Resorted to his meme boat life, the only setting where he could feel better than his peers, who were actually poor, stupid, or both.

a narcissist wouldnt have helped someone like gene or that moron who wanted to dump the body in the swamp. he was always genuinely helpful to his dumb friends. he was self-loathing, but he gets over it at the end, or dies depending on how you interpret it
