    I'm working through Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy ("All The Pretty Horses," "The Crossing" and "Cities Of The Plain"). Reading "Cities of the Plain" right now...the review quotes on each book are dead. Cormac McCarthy will some day have his place in the pantheon of great American writers. Fantastic series...highly recommended.

    I recently bought this trilogy, together with McCarthy's Suttree. I am looking forward to reading these soon. ..

    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets,
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself

    Shadow Man by Cody McFadyen... I hope the story is as good as all the hype on the cover portrays it as!

    Re-reading a book I read many, many years ago but always stayed with me: Ana Non by Gomez-Arcos. Sad. poetic, strong and inspiring at the same time.

    Think I might follow this one by re-reading another one of his books: L'agneau carnivore (The Carnivorous Lamb). **goes to dust off books on shelf**

    That guy is the biggest d-bag. By the time I got to the end of 'I hope they serve beer in hell', I couldn't fucking stand him. Some of this stories aren't even true...

    I just finished the series in about a week. Amazing series that I just couldn't put down. Now I'm finally reading the final book in the "Millennium Series" (Girl With Kicked The Hornets Nest). First two books were very good as well and I hope this one is as well.

    After I read finish this one I am going to move onto the Game of Thrones series.

    I haven't started anything, but my dad gave me Ron MacLean's Cornered for Christmas and I feel like that should be my next read.

    Makes me laugh and a whole book of the ridiculous stories can be a bit much, that is why they were more fun originally when they came out 1 at a time. 'Sushi Pants' is still one of the funniest things I have ever read.
    Is he a d-bag? Oh yeah, big time. Are his stories true? Who knows, but as a great man once said 'Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.' The d-bag makes me laugh.
