I didn't either ’til that day we were at Borders, about to buy the DVD! Cormac McCarthy's supposed to be one of the "greatest living writers today" one of the newspapers said, you know, on the first few pages. I just wasn't interested in his style until I read this. Another movie I want to see was <i>Atonement,</i> which I found out was also a book first that same day at Borders! Hopefully I'll get around to reading that soon. Fridays are usually DVD nights, but Brian just finished reading <i>No Country</i> last night, so we might watch it tonight, except that we've been planning to go see the new Indiana Jones! :mrgreen: I know!

Roscoe rented the movie for us, I would never have picked it in a million years, and I loved it. I didn’t know there was a book. I may have to get it.

When we were at Borders a few weeks back we planned on buying it then, but I saw the book on the table, so of course I wanted to read it first! I highly recommend the book, but it's kind of rough going at first. Maybe having seen the movie first will help, but you know how scenes always get changed around and stuff. Anyway, it's a pretty short book, which made it easier to read twice! I’m really looking forward to watching the movie.
