Very cool piece of gear @Emperor Zurg !

As for Cormac McCarthy, I've only read The Road. Very good, but jeez are all his books that grim?

Hi Chico,

Have no expectations when reading McCarthy even to the point of expecting normal punctuation. I know people who have just given up on him because he doesn't use quotes. The Road is bleak and to me a bit of an anomaly. I'd suggest reading No Country For Old Men or All The Pretty Horses that are more approachable and then Blood Meridian and Child of God later. If there's a greater living writer, they're not known to me and I esteem him among or above the greatest literary giants of the past. Where is his Nobel Prize?

The press is uber kewl and very useful. Kudos to Bill (@Emperorzurg) for taking my idea to fruition and surpassing my expectations.
