I can't do much of anything but agree. I picked this up on
vacation in San Francisco and read it while driving around
the state. What a magnificent book. I've read some of the
source material too, and am just as impressed by McCarthy's
research as I am by his prose. What an astounding book. I
wish I could find something else like it. Not, indeed, for
the faint of heart. Or faint of stomach.
