I think I enjoyed this one more than The Passenger. I will probably need to reread both in a few months to fully appreciate them.

A book purely made of dialogue? By McCarthy? Who said you can’t teach 89 year old dogs new tricks?
This one was easier to follow than The Passenger. I look forward to a reread of these two down the road.

This book was like a wavelength. The sections about characters was it hitting the peaks, and the sections about science and mathematics was it hitting the troughs. I'm sure Cormac McCarthy would like that comparison.
