I just finished reading Cormac McCarthy's Child of God. It was a pretty gross read, but it's a short little novella. It's about a man who becomes estranged from society and in some acts of 'revenge' on society, he commits some heinous and disgusting crimes. By the end of the book you're questioning if the man is even human. But as the title of the book says, the man is a child of God just like the reader. It puts into perspective just how much someone can distance themselves from the grace of God, and yet their connection to God is never truly severed.

Overall I think if you're looking to read McCarthy, you could skip this book. I'd only read it if I was a big McCarthy fan.

I own a copy of that too. That is where I am reading it from. I read the Antiquities of the Jews previously.

Monster. This is a manuscript for a 14th Century romance novel with an espionage subplot that I wrote and going over yet again. Why a 14th Century romance with an espionage subplot? To see if I could do it.
