Cormac McCarthy
The Road
Entertainment Weekly declared it the number one book of 2006. Stephen King said it was #1 on the top ten books he read all last year. The book is by Cormac McCarthy and it's title is The Road. Well, it was a Christmas present from my wife. I finished it today. What's my opinion? It's one of the most powerful books I have ever read. Another book by Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, is the best book I have ever read. When I read the last pages of The Road, tears welled up in my eyes. Writer's like McCarthy put people like me to shame. Savant writers like McCarthy, King, Koontz and Collins are not of this earth. I don't think people can understand just how difficult it is to write a novel, let alone one so incredible. I love reading fantastic books then I'm like the dude in Amadeus who sees Mozart and realizes he's a no talent hack. God alone gives people this kind of talent. Much like music, art, singing - all God-given talent.
