Snow by Orhan Pamuk

Christopher D Himes, October 8, 2008

This is a very very good book that delves into the subjects of faith/belief, love and the act of artistic creation. Set within a suspenseful plot of political turmoil, this novel eloquently illustrates how these interrelated subjects transcend such worldly games as politics, however serious and life threatening they may be.

Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy
Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West

Christopher D Himes, October 7, 2008

Brutal and poetic. Beautiful and unflinchingly violent. A mythic tale of the wild west. Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece and one of the greatest American novels--up there for me with Moby Dick.
