Have you ever read any books by Cormac McCarthy?
I'm familiar with Cormac but I don't think I've read any of his books. He wrote child of God right?
Yes. His most well known book is probably No Country For Old Men, which was adapted into a movie a few years back.
With Javier Bardem, I love that movie. I'm the only one of my friends who enjoyed it actually. I didn't know it was based on a book.
Javier Bardem was great in that movie. Josh Brolin, who plays Thanos in The Avengers is in it too. No Country For Old Men is what got me into reading Cormac McCarthy's books in the first place. I'd also recommend All the Pretty Horses.
All the Pretty Horses? Is that also a movie based on his books? Sounds like something that would have cowboys in it.
Yes, that one was also made into a movie. It's about two boys in the mid 20th century who decide to leave their lives in Texas behind and ride south into Mexico where they end up working as cowboys. Great book.
If it's based from the work of Cormac McCarthy, I'm sure it is. You seem pretty confident about it being good, so I trust you.
Glad to hear it. I'd definitely suggest reading one of his books if you ever get the chance. The ways we interact with nature and the environment are often strong themes in his books if that's something that interests you.
You mean the way he paints the surroundings with his words? I really do enjoy descriptive writing when it's done well.
Yes, he uses very artistic language in a way I hadn't ever seen before. It's a bit different at first but if you like descriptive writing I think you would enjoy it.
