[Bananafish] J. D. Salinger, dies at age 89

Mike, I've read; The Orchard Keeper, Outer Dark, The Road, The Sunset
Limited (play) and I would recommend them all.  I think you would like
Outer Dark particularly.

I have The Stonemason, Child of God, Suttree, and Blood Meridian on my
list (the shelf on my side of the bed versus not sitting down stairs in
the library.)  From what I have read and heard Blood Meridian sounds
like it would be right up your "Gunslinger" alley.

Fan's Notes is on my "list" now, but I have been side tracked with some
other books but notably Philip K. Dick.  Have you read any of his stuff?
I read in past couple of weeks The Man Who Japed, Do Androids Dream of
Electric Sheep?, Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said, The Transmigration
of Timothy Archer, and some shorts.  His stuff is interesting.  The new
movie out Southland Tales is based on Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said
but they didn't give Dick any credit on the jacket.
 
I have not read any of Cormac's border books but the movie based on All
the Pretty Horses biased me and I am super critical of anything set in
this part of the country since much of it doesn't ring true.  I will
give the series opener and a chance eventually.  The series is; All the
Pretty Horses, The Crossing, Cities of the Plain, No Country for Old
Men.

I think there are wikipedia write-ups on the novels to check out before
you decide.
