When reading the First Law Trilogy, I expected Joe Abercombie to be some fat neckbeard like GRRM, but it's actually this devilishly handsome fellow.

I always imagine Cormac McCarthy to be like Zach Galifianakis but much older, and specially much thinner.

That's because you're a faggot who doesn't know what he's doing.

Actually, I can't believe McCarthy doesn't have a beard. He looks like a little old lady - not what I expected at all.

You obviously haven't read/seen one of his few interviews. He's a pretty timid guy. I thought he was going to wilt away when I first saw him.

Sure, but I was under the impression that he was some toothpick-chewing cowboy.

If all you get from Cormac McCarthy is "herp derp cowboys and indians", then you aren't a very good reader.

"The woman sat like that blind interlocutrix between Boaz and Jachin inscribed upon the one card in the juggler's deck that they would not see come to light, true pillars and true card, false prophetess for all."

doesn't strike me as much of a toothpick-chewer, personally

Not at all, he's the great thinker of our times.

“This is the nature of war, whose stake is at once the game and the authority and the justification. Seen so, war is the truest form of divination. It is the testing of one's will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence.War is god.”
