Read It. Read It. Read It.
That Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men is not on a whole lot more of 2005's best books lists ought to be shocking.
However, maybe not so much -- The New York Times' article Rejected by the Publishers may shed a little light on just how bad the decisioning process has gotten all around. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/04/books/04publ.html
At any rate, McCarthy's meditation cum interogation of the evolution of 20th century American masculinity is, along with Gaitskill's Veronica (subject of a future blog), one of the strongest books produced by a writer from any country in 2005.
