First book of 2014 read. It only took me like a month and a half.
I blame life, but whatever, I have time.
The book is called Outer Dark
by Cormac McCarthy. I actually started the book a couple months ago, but I only got about 30 pages in to before being distracted by something else.So, I started this book over and read it.
I was told that this was a great "entry point" for McCarthy's work. That it was a good place to start, before going into his more popular works. When I finished this book all I could say was:
"Uhm, What?"
I wanted to wake my girlfriend up to say, "What the hell just happened"
Now, I consider myself a pretty intelligent reader. I pick up on themes and subtleties well. But, this one I was not prepared for. I guess this is one of those "enjoy the journey" sort of stories?
I don't know. I'm pretty disappointed in myself for not getting it.
Alas, I have 51 other books to read this year, and I'm already a little behind. So, no wasting time. On to the next.
