"Her feet are light and nimble. She/They never sleeps. She/They says that she will never unalive. She/They dances in light and in shadow and she has that rizz. She/They never sleeps, the Girlboss. She/They is dancing, dancing. She/They says that she will never unalive."
"I'll go to a party and see some tradcath jfk larping loser, literally talking about Cormac McCarthy. It's so see through at this point. Rs bf rs gf is becoming too on the nose, and some of the lamest qualities and characteristics are at the forefront and transparent as hell."
"I've seen it countless times. DFW, DeLillo, Pynchon, McCarthy, Franzen, etc., get blasted as just 'being a bunch of white males thinking they're great novelists.' Most of these guys' work isn't even controversial or about race."
"Having just finished Blood Meridian, I now realize the kid was quoting Judge Holden."
"I don't know how many more early-30's "d*des rock steely dan david lynch simpsons s1-s10 cormac mccarthy letterboxd" guys I can meet.

"The Cormac McCarthy sub is 70% Judge fanart & 3% discussion of McCarthy's work. The other remaining 27% is discussion on whether or not there will be a Blood Meridian movie."
"Shakespeare, Joyce, Ozu, Pynchon and McCarthy etc created awe inspiring works of art honouring god built around toilet humour. Cumtown is the stuff of philosopher kings and middle schoolers."
"I found out the local book shop by my house is shutting down, nearly everything was under $5 brand new so I picked up about 25 books I should've read by now and some others I'd like to go through again since I haven't finished a book that wasn't Cormac or a repair manual for a car in almost a decade"
"After hearing the praise on this website I was expecting Cormac McCarthy. The sentences are just incomprehensibly dry."
"There was this boy I sent to the electric chair at Huntsville here awhile back, my arrest and my testimony. He killed a 14 year-old girl. Papers said it was a crime of passion but he told me there wasn't any passion to it. Told me that he'd been plannin' to kill somebody for about as long as he coul"
"The last one for me was Cormac Mccarthy, for one of probably the top 5 literary figures of the latter half of the 20th century, he seemed to barely give a shit about literature at all. He said very explicitly that it was very very low down on the list of things he cared about and it became sort of a"

"there's nothing physically stopping me from giving a random kid a copy of Blood Meridian or Salo but this was on my mind today."
"I have fucking schmoop notes pulled up to check after ever chapter like a lazy high schooler. I am trying to read it like The Bible or other prose/poetry but without the line breaks and differentiations, it's hard."
"both of these artists are working with such sophisticated and ornate toolboxes, such skilled and spiritual artistry that it once again reminds me of how far and so fast our culture has fallen into the toilet. The thrill of reading them is almost too much to bear now that everything is so fucking fak"

"I know McCarthy's writing style is deliberately esoteric and obscure, but I'm finding it very difficult to feel immersed in the book."
"In the late winter of eighteen seventy-eight he was on the plains north of Texas. He crossed the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River on a morning when skim ice lay along the sandy shore and he rode through a dark dwarf forest of black and twisted mesquite trees."
