The setting is the Texas-Mexico border. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. A good old boy named Llewellyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction that not even the law can contain. Encompassing themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning’s headlines, No Country for Old Men is a triumph.

    McCarthy's work is so vivid & paints such a clear image in your mind of the scene he's describing. I liked this one as I'd seen the film but I really liked The Orchard Keeper, Outer Dark & Suttree (all set in postwar rural Tennessee / Appalachia).

      I only just finished "The Road". Incredibly impactful and unique

      Anything you'd recommend next?

        I'd say Blood Meridian (strap in…and keep a spanish dictionary handy), it's probably his most "dense" writing, the vivid descriptions of the scenery & surrounds are almost superfluous at times, but it's one hell of a story.

      Just a suggestion, but the website described in this wiki article may be of interest.

        Scam site well known for telling the user they have reached their download limit so that it can sell membership. If you're going to sail the seven seas, you need to be smarter than that.

          No, the one linked via the wiki is the legit one. Never had any issues or had to pay, donations always optional.

          Sounds like you've been tricked by one of the many clones / scam versions.

          • syousef on 10/05/2025 - 10:14

            @Ham Dragon: Nope. I haven't bothered to use ZLibrary at all. There are plenty of people complaining that the "legit" one tells them they've already had their downloads for the day. Google it.

              @syousef: You tell them what you heard, I tell them what I know.

              • syousef on 10/05/2025 - 13:08

                @Ham Dragon: I just tried your official site and got exactly the behaviour I described. You can call me a liar or a fool alll you like but I know better. That is what I know. Also the book is listed on plenty of torrent sites. You don't need a slow site that begs for money and limits downloads.

                • Ham Dragon on 10/05/2025 - 17:11

                  @syousef: I'm not refuting the part about download limits (it's like 6 a day, how many books do you need at once?) or donation requests - how else does a site stay hosted & managed? - but to call it a scam is a lie. Have a sook and keep downvoting earlier comments.

                  • syousef on 10/05/2025 - 18:02

                    @Ham Dragon: No. You're not listening. I hit that download limit when I hadn't yet downloaded anything and I was on an ipv6 address. No one else is using my public IP. The rest of this family wouldn't have heard of the site. That is the scam. Make people think they can download 5 things for free a day when in fact they're going to ask you to join and pay the moment you try to download.

                    And to top it off the book is available all over the Internet without any of the nonsense if you're inclined to sail the seven seas.

                    What I said stands. As far as I'm concerned the site is not legit in any sense of the word and the best you can say for it is that perhaps pirates deserve what they get.

    worth reading if youve seen the movie?

    • Chris17 on 08/05/2025 - 10:24

      Yes, though I found the movie - one of my all-time favourites - better than the book.

    • Meconium on 08/05/2025 - 10:46

      It is the movie. If you adore the movie, get the audiobook. You'll be shocked how verbatim it is.

      https://www.audible.com.au/pd/No-Country-for-Old-Men-Audiobo…

      When the Coens were asked how they wrote the script, Joel said "Ethan copied down the words and I turned the pages", or something similarly dryly amusing. Completely true, and the audiobook heightens the experience.

      You can't stop what's coming.

      • Chris17 on 08/05/2025 - 16:40

        I preferr the Coens’ depiction of Anton Chigurh. McCarthy fleshes him out too much.

        It’s a good book made into a great movie.
