No Country for Old Men by Cormac Mccarthy
No Country for Old Men

Seakayaker, April 11, 2007

I enjoy reading Cormac McCarthy novels. This was an enjoyable read but I enjoyed his writing in the Border Trilogy novels a lot more. 'No Country for Old Men' was an easy read with a plot that was fast paced and a story line that followed the violent world of drug trafficking along our southern boarders. I would suspect that it will make a fine Hollywood film in the near future.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy
The Road

Seakayaker, January 20, 2007

A book that was consumed within a 24 hour period. The good guys looking for the other good guys, there out there somewhere. . . . . the boy carrying the light. . . . . who displays love & compassion for those they meet along the road, and is willing to live it. . . . . but the father who tells him about love but who cannot walk the talk and provide the living proof. . . . . . always the worry about the present and offering up tomorrow, as hope for better times when they meet people just like them (the good guys) . . . . . never taking the time to live in the moment and to risk living up to his true beliefs. . . . . Hope takes over at the end without fear and with love & compassion.

Very enjoyable read!
