excellent, excellent book. one of the best i've read in the past five years or more.

seeing the film should be interesting, although john hillcoat's doing it, and he did an incredible job with the proposition (which i feel pretty safe assuming you thought was awesome, yes?). supposedly he's staying true to mccarthy's intent, and the stills i've seen look pretty great:
