Default No Country for Old Men is a classic book just very dark

Tal....my grandparent's best friend's son WROTE this book....I just heard this a couple of months ago....I haven't read it nor have I watched the movie....but his parents are buried next to my grandparents in DC....next to one other couple....the forever Bridge players....great sense's of humor and would have LOVED TV's!!!

I bet I could ask him to come to TV's for a book or DVD signing....whether you liked it or not....might be fun to meet him in person....

Cormac McCarthy's parents were (are even in death) my grandparents best friends....bridge partners....
I just finished reading Cormac McCarthy's book The Road and read No Country for Old Men (NCFOM) a few years ago. Both are excellent books with great writing, character development, dialog, etc. Entertainment Weekly named the The Road the best book of the past 25 years. I would not go that far but it is a very powerful book as is NCFOM.

I would bet alot of TOTVers and Villagers would like to meet Cormac McCarthy.
