this one WWII historical fiction book with a sort of groundhog day gimmick
Too genre-y and tiresome

I just read this and loved it. I could see how McCarthy's style could be awful if it isn't to your taste.
But personally, I love it. The sparseness, the extensive metaphors. And I really loved the closing paragraph, very beautiful.
Suttree is better tho
