They found him in a saloon in Texarkana. He thought he was there in pursuit of the next thing, but really it was he who was the prey. Few knew where he had been since his battles in Lawrence, maybe he didn't even know. Alas, one man paid his bill while the others dragged him out. They carried him north on their backs, across dry creekbeds and over craggy summits. For their fields had been dry many years and someone believed this turnip's blood was their only choice, or starve to death. Desperation.
Over the years the rains returned enough to continue on, but every year was nearly a tragedy. So they sent him and "the osos" as they called them, back to Kansas to lay a holy haymaker on an aging nemesis. The young lads' spirits were uplifted as they passed through his old haunts, where the lolitas raised their gowns and blouses and wished them luck, for they hadn't seen real men in a decade. As the woodlands gave way to prairie, their leader spotted his enemy perched atop a quadricorn named Clinebrunloquetmalon, which is Lacota for "four warriors who share a purple heart." Their eyes met, the wind shifted, and lightning streaked across the dark sky. The old man squinted, his lips pursed, and nostrils flaired. The osos were entering a thunderdome and they would not come back.

6) Oklahoma State: The boy who believes himself to be a man charges forward towards his assailant, arms swinging in all directions. His visor drops from his greasy hair and falls to the turf. He says, I'm going to kill you.
His assailant crouches and swings a bottle towards the cowboy's face. The cowboy is ready, hardened by years spent in the wild without food or water or a team worth believing in. Now, he screams at the roof.
Eleven drop from the rooftop and swarm the assailant. He is immediately overwhelmed and pitches off the narrow field. He cannot withstand the onslaught. Men are coming at him from every direction, running over him with speed he thought impossible. As he lies in the grass, he grasps a chunk of earth between his fingers and watches the cowboy run into the endzone. The ball is spiked. He closes his eyes.
I just love this one. :love:

The Border Trilogy books were my favorite. The Road is probably more accessible than Blood Meridian or the Border Trilogy.

Not bad.
I still like SB Nation's Big 12 Anti-Preview from last season as my all-time favorite. Can't match the pie charts:

I think you'll find that the Judge's ad hoc gunpowder factory is a highlight of the book.

I would agree The Road is most likely the best to start with. The Crossing was my first McCarthy book and I feel like I should go back and read it now that I have read a number of his other books.

"The pirate was run out of town some years before by a scoundrel with a hole in his head where his brains should have lain. A stupid man, caught up in stupid and vainglorious pursuits."
He obviously loves his football and hates his Craig James. I think I shall move to west Tejas and befriend this wise man.
Incredible read. This post has been bookmarked into my browser, as well as my heart, mind, and soul.
