favorite quotes from him? this one really speaks to me about man's inhumanity to man

I heard the other day that Cormac doesn't read. Kind of makes sense with his style, and I personally like his stuff. But is it possible to be an influential writer without reading? Was I fed garbage?

Also, do you know of any other influential writers who don't read anyone elses stuff?

Yee

And finally upon the edge of that long field the mosquito man appeared in a quivering specter of a jeep, towing along with it his cargo: a uniform of war prisoners.

Let's discuss the greatness of american writers: north, central, south.

I will start with Cormac McCarthy because I'm currently reading him, I do think he is the one of the best writers alive, his prose is really stunning and beautiful.

I also would like to mention Guillermo Cabrera Infante, the cuban writer who wrote Three Trapped Tigers, which is a masterpiece. Thoughts on him?

Every time I see a picture of Cormac McCarthy I feel like he's staring into my soul.
