:x this keeps getting worse and worse.

I don't know, Omar's pretty badass. And how many actors can you say have had public ballsacks? Not many.

Then there was a big hubbub and Franzen wound up becoming an enemy of the Oprah Nation.
I still love him though.

That is in fact one of the reasons I like him
RedLion:
The book left me rather underwhelmed. As much as I love No Country for Old Men and Blood Meridian, McCarthy's writing style has always struck me as lack luster. I guess that's just because I'm used to--and enjoy--long, drawn out, expository prose.
Shadows Collide:
The descriptions of desolation are very uninspired and predictable, the tiresome plot leaves you utterly depressed (in no meaningful way), the book is fucking terrible and, well, the book is fucking terrible.
