No Country Movie Trailer

Ashamedly, I have to admit to finding Cormac McCarthy kind of unreadable. This Coen brothers adaptation of No Country for Old Men, however, looks like a winner.

I read All the Pretty Horses after the movie came out and found it a bit of a snooze. I never watched the movie because I thought it would be like the book.

My main issue with Cormac McCarthy is his prose. I want to be eager to pick up a book rather than dread every moment I spend with it. Sometimes, I find it impossible to get past the prose no matter how good the story might be.

Hi Mary Dell:
Oh, thank Thor someone else can't stand McCarthy. I think his prose is as dense as a hemlock forest draped in fog. It can be a struggle getting through one of his novels -- and can he please get over his punctuation phobia.

Unfortunately, then I read "The Road," which is , regrettably, fantastic -- even if it was penned by McCarthy. You should try it.

I love your site.

I agree about "The Road." I read it this summer and thought it was a very creative book.
