I think society will collapse before October.
that's just the heat from the fanning flames of hell warming your face. you'll soon learn what happens to those that post like moronic doomers
You're right. The US government is as strong as ever and will never collapse like literally every other empire in history.
Soviet Union collapsed and it wasn't the end of the world and it wasn't an apocalyptic transition. So what is your argument exactly?
It was an apocalyptic transition for the Russians and Serbs.
You wish.
This ride will not end anytime soon.
Kek and based
Too optimististic
If you believe the doomers then we are in for some shit at the end of the year that will make 2008 look like a fricking joke.
Is it the same Peter Schiff economic cataclysm they’ve been harping on since Bush was in office?
The covers are butt ugly. I can’t believe someone got paid to make them.
probably that moron Chip Kidd again
OKAY, IT'S UGLY. WE GET IT
Imagine having this dead lookin futa look down on you from the spines on your shelf while your fricking art thot #55 of the year. grosslol
>fricking art thot #55
Yeah. T-thats what I do when I'm not on IQfy.
>judging a book by its cover
That's it. That's fricking it. I'm done with IQfy. Highest IQ board my fricking ass!
awful writing
What are you gay?
>takes a whole paragraph to write a 2 sentence idea
What a fricking hack
>what is dialogue
>quotation marks
>Cormac McCarthy
I just started reading McCarthy (reading NCFOM right now) and I just started browsing IQfy this week I've been wanting to read more. I hope these will be good since it's been 16 years since the road but who knows. Hasn't The Passenger been teased for a long time?
>Hasn't The Passenger been teased for a long time?
Yes. It's McCarthy's first book in a decade.
I've only read The Road but I loved it. How is No Country so far? It's on my shelf and I want to be convinced to bump it up on my list.
I just started it today but I really love it so far, the writing style is really enjoyable for me too. I have Blood Meridian also from reading what was recommended here but I'll read that after this
The only one I’ve read is NCFOM back when the film came out. Loved both. Recently blind purchased Blood Meridian at Barnes & Noble. Love it. Where should I turn after I’m done with BM?
Not that anon, but I would recommend Suttree.
The Crossing is the closest thing to the sheer apocalypse that was BM, but it's a much more subdued and spiritual approach. If you like it, the rest of the Border Trilogy (it doesn't matter whether you read 1 or 2 first as long as you read 3 last).
If you want more "desolate promontories and boiling and raging rivers that churned as if cut from the veins of some mendicant wargod" prose, Suttree. Really it's own thing, if you like it you should work backwards.
Blood Meridian is McCarthy's greatest literary achievement and is among the greatest achievements in American literature, behind Moby Dick.
>Not reading Blood Meridian
ngmi
I own that too but I kind of want to read Lonesome Dove first.
Whenever I see Stella Maris, I see a typo of Stella Marie.
Yeah I guess, it will be cool to consume new thing from a great author.
I still need to reread Outer Dark, and I haven't read the Border Trilogy or Suttree so it's not as if I'm hard up for more McCarthy.
Weird.
Honestly thought these were the same thing.
The covers make them look like Mormon literature.
Winds of Winter release
What is this from?
It's the first page of the Passenger.

I don't use commas because they're stupid and they're stupid because.... THEY'RE JUST STUPID OKAY
Not perfect, but acceptable to good.
I wonder if the rest holds up.
there's apparently a troony in the novel and I'm legitimately curious as to how he intertwines that concept with his type of writing
Have you read Suttree? There's a lot of louche characters in there. In particular a cross-dressing black male prostitute. The Cormac McCarthy prose style accomodates it all without any problem.
>Have you read Suttree
haven't but not surprised that he handles it as well as anything. People complained about their presence in his new novel but I think it fits into his worlds very well
He really phoned it in with the names this time. “Western” is not a last name. This is Ants on Sugar bad moronic. Still looking forward to it tho.
I literally know a guy with Western as a last name you twat.
Yes
I will get the first edition, first printing and it will be affordable for once.
>The haciendas drawled upon the cicadas and he picked up the dorito and dipped it in the xtreme salsa dip and put it in his mouth and bit and chew and then thanked her and walked out.
But did he order a Mountain Dew® Baja Blast™
>extra large nachos... cheese sauce on the side, the one with jalapenos... fries, toast, and cole slaw with the chicken fingers... a sprite... an order of Buffalo wings... two cookies... and a small side salad, por favor
I’ve seen some say he’s a self parody now. I’ve soured on his writing style a lot lately. I feel like he retroactively parodied himself even in his best work. He’s like a caricature. I’ve come to like The Road best unironically as the bleak sparse writing style fits the depressing tone of the book
Not hard to believe considering he’s frickin 88 years old
lol
McCarthy is terrible, so no.
>Stephen King but less popular so I am allowed to like him
why would i read some guy LARP as a classic writer.
You read your diary, don't you?
