McCarthy must be a man's writer. The men on SI who've read him love him, but I can't recall a single woman writing about his work.
He doesn't appeal to me at all. However redemptive the main theme may be, enduring brutality and suffering isn't my idea of a good read.

I'm currently fighting my way through Harry Turtledove's Guns of the South. He combines scifi and historical fiction; in this one the South gets hold of Ak47s from the future and win the war. It's an excellent book, but it's just not for me.
