Cormac McCarthy has died
I know its bad form to speak ill of the dead but -A friend gave me a copy of "Child of God" amd frankly it was the most disgusting, dark, unrewarding, unethical, uninspired, uniteresting, poorly written books ive ever read.I was flat out offended by the book and repeatedly had to set it down and fume about how unnecessarily disgusting he was being. I never finished it. 
I got the impression that cormac was a thoroughly disturbed individual with a macabre fascination with the most fucked up 0.00001% of humanity. To make matters worth he cant write worth a damn.I will say his metaphors can be quite beautiful hut they often make no sense grammatically.Tldr : Cormac Mccarthy is not for me.
