He's more a John Grisham-type reader, so I was surprised at it being among the rest. It sat for about six months and I finally picked it up. Wow! It was the best thing I read that year. I am so happy I did. I could definitely go for more and more Edward P.

I wish George Eliot, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and George Orwell had written more. I'd like a new Diana Gabaldon and Audrey Niffeneger. Otherwise I am reasonably content as I still have some Anthony Trollope's that I have yet to read along with some Balzac.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-57976057347120390632012-01-10T07:02:27.519-08:002012-01-10T07:02:27.519-08:00Cormac McCarthy's such an alpha male of litera...Cormac McCarthy's such an alpha male of literature. His books are so good and unique that he calls the shots with whatever he does. I can't wait until THE PASSENGER comes out.
