Stealing from the Book Recommendation and Last Movie threads.
Title speaks for itself, any book you happened to have read, old or new, read before or just discovered/got around to, and what you thought.
Just read Cormac McCarthy's Outer Dark recently. Having read The Road and No Country For Old Men previously, I wanted to see what his other works were like. So I chose one of his older novels.
This is about a brother and sister who live in the country at the end of the 19th century and have a child together. The brother leaves the baby in the woods for dead, and the sister goes looking for him after discovering her brother had lied about it dying of natural causes.
This one is pretty much the same in writing structure of his other novels, with much of the dialogue written like pronunciation, and is quite vivid in depicting landscapes and themes. There are parts that also seem to go through in an instant that you can easily picture as a prolonged sequence. The two main characters are sympathetic, where most other people are depicted as a threat, especially the three strangers who go around killing people for little reason other than to be a force of evil.
This is one you have to be in the mood for, but it's still rewarding if you have your mind open to it.
