Posted by Nausicaa_Cat on 07.29.2010, 09:00 AM: I just finished reading the last of the Chaos Walking trilogy, and I was blown away. I cried. Again. Just something about this series of books is uncannily adept at drawing out embarassing, messy bouts of tears from me. The trilogy is probably my favourite books ever, and I don't say that lightly. As someone who reads a lot, reading being a passion of mine since I was a little child, it's hard to pick favourites. But I don't know. I was just blown away.

And more than gruesome enough. Love it.

Posted by O-Jay88 on 08.11.2010, 04:23 PM: Just finished "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. I can see why it got the Pulitzer Prize, it was very thought-provoking and poignant, and totally worth reading. I liked how the language was so simple and how it's one continuous story, with no chapter division. I guess I gotta check out the movie soon, too.

Posted by Orphic Okapi on 08.11.2010, 04:49 PM: If Cormac McCarthy has written a book with simple language he has certainly changed his style! I've read Blood Meridian and Suttree and both were fantastic novels, but I can't say the language struck me as simple.
