are you ever just like “I think I read pretty good books” and then you read cormac mccarthy and you’re like “oh”
this book is stunning. I’m gonna be thinking about it for a very long time. if I can give any advice though do not choose this one as your first mccarthy book, and pay attention to trigger warnings

The Passenger wasn’t at all what I expected. You are onboarded into this world with a mystery surrounding a crashed airplane and a missing passenger, but this plot is mostly abandoned over time. In its place, we follow Bobby Western as he converses with a diverse assortment of people he meets in his travels as he struggles to cope with his personal demons. By the end of his journey I can’t say I fully understood everything McCarthy was trying to say but I FELT it. There are some beautiful and haunting passages in this book I won’t soon forget

Cormac McCarthy does it again. a slow, wandering tale that leaves you with that fuzzy confused feeling, and makes you wonder at the point of it all. poignantly beautiful
