[Bananafish] Spirit on a Mast

[Raymond, Matthew T]

FYI: 
First name - Matthew 
Last name - Raymond

I know, it's really two first names.  

I agree with you about McCarthy's prose in The Road.  Beautifully tight,
crafted sentences.

As for Canticle for Lebowitz, it's sitting on my bookshelf right now,
waiting to be read.  I'm currently reading David Brin's The Postman,
which has been better than expected.  Not in McCarthy's literary sense,
but just as solid, well-written entertainment.  It's much better than
the movie of the same name, though granted, that isn't saying much.

The simple bleak prose set the whole mood.

Have you ever read Miller's Canticle for Lebowitz, Raymond?

McCarthy's The Road is an excellent read, even if you're not into
post-apocalyptic fiction.
