And he was criticizing me for what he referred to as a "revelation" on the dumbass thread. I was just putting that up, as I wished I had success scholastically like Dr. Carson(neurosurgeon), but I can see why folks would think he's dumb. Carson didn't understand what Real Estate Owned meant. I think that involves foreclosures or short sales. HUD secretary unqualified. He thought it was OREO what the man said. I was watching that whole hearing on C-SPAN. I also watched the interview with Betsy DeVos the education secretary, where the students were heckling her. on C-SPAN2 some of you should turn off Newsmax and watch C-SPAN when they interview authors. detoxify dopamine from your thick skulls. You should read this one @CHANTICLEER. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'd vote for Murakami because I loved that one, and don't know the other guy... I'm confused/concerned by the dislike of McCarthy in here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 50/50 leaves me stale. I need Chanticleer to tie break. I really enjoy mccarthy. He does take. Faulkner approach to story telling at times which can be a lot if you’re trying to just casually read. Blood Meridian is a masterpiece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I like McCarthy too, but when I read something from him its usually spaced out well from the last time I read something of his. Hope that makes sense. No Country and The Road are both probably his 'easiest' reads though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Knight Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 How was kind nepenthe @Ko SprueOne? That’s been on my tbr started this one today. For those who like southern gothic but don’t like McCarthy’s writing style, you should try this guy out. Already hooked into this. read this one years back and it was absolutely thrilling. Highly recommend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko SprueOne Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 If you like, southern gothic, (I had to look that up), then you'll like, Kind Nepenthe. Bad actors, victims, ghosts, drugs, ultra violence. It's similar to Alex Garland's, The Beach, but actually good. To be fair, The Tesseract, also by Alex Garland is good. And like that book Kind Nepenthe is three stories that collide eventually and violently. I'm going to look up, William Gay books 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
