No Country For Old Men
by Cormac McCarthy
Just as with The Road, this novel is so compelling one is tempted to finish it one sitting. I'd already seen the movie, which is also brilliant, but that didn't lessen the enjoyment of this paperback. Llewellyn Moss, the crafty veteran, Anton Chighurh, the soulless outlaw, and Sheriff Bell, the lawman of yesteryear, are the main characters.
I had a vague moment of inspiration where I thought that this was a novel about our modern age of computers, with no notion of morality (Chighurh), versus an older human driven age (Bell). But I think that is a long bow to draw.
