Books
I would like to start a new thread here on the blog. Please post your thoughts on books you are currently reading. I am reading No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy. This is the most stripped down, beat up, Texas style, an excellent book I have ever read. It reminds me of the first book that I intellectually loved, For Whom the Bell Tolls. Maybe I just want to be a soldier.

My only Cormac McCarthy reading was The Crossing, which was a very bleak and dark novel. I think that is his trademark.
I'm still working on Orhan Pamuk's The Black Book, a whimsical mystery set in Istanbul. Started it in while there, but got distracted reading architectural history.
Lizzie,
How do you go about choosing books that interest you? I can pick non-fiction books relatively easily based on what I am academically intersted in, but have a harder time with fiction. Anyone can feel free to answer, but I ask Liz because she seems to go through books the fastest.
