I'm gonna do it too!
Now,...Wonderful posting! I'm gonna do it too!<br /><br />Now, about your ten--<br /><br />I completely agree with everybody about "Pamela." Read it only if you truly want to.<br /><br />Anything by Cormac McCarthy is, in my humble opinion, simply brilliant! The three you've listed, 'The Borderlands Trilogy,' is amazingly good. Personally, I view McCarthy as one of the great living American authors, and sort of our generation's Thomas Hardy too. While I enjoyed "The Road," I didn't think it was his best, it was very good. Beyond the three you've listed, I also highly recommend "Outer Dark."<br /><br />Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
