Cormac McCarthy was an amazing writer. For anyone with a strong stomach I would recommend "Blood Meridian". It's one of the most extraordinary books I have ever read. At times achingly beautiful, at times utterly horrifying. It's a really remarkable journey and the memory of it still troubles me. David Foster Wallace wrote a memorable review of it once in a piece for Salon, which read (in its entirety) "Don't even ask."[1] If you've read the book, you know.
