/lit/ - Literature

Started reading "No Country for Old Men" and can't get past the first few pages, because the author just fucking sucks at writing. I know it's Cormac McCarthy and he's supposed to be big business, but holy fucking hell...
"He sat down and he took a shit and he wiped his ass and he liked it." Not an exact quote, but every single sentence is written like that. I this just his worst book or is he not even worth reading?

I really liked the very beginning, where the old sheriff talks about the kid he sent to a gas chamber. But what's with him using "should of" instead of "should have"? I thought only /b/tards were thick enough to write like that, but I seem to have been proven wrong.

Anyway, that's me venting. Comments?
