No Country for Old Men
by
"Llewelyn Moss is truly a morally ambiguous character. Cormac McCarthy is one of world's best authors and his characters are absolutely fascinating. Plus I love the style in which he writes."

The Road
by
"Gut wrenching and absolutely fascinating. Yeah, it's another Cormac McCarthy novel but he's just so good at creating great characters. They gave him a Pulitzer for this one. What would you do to save your son? How far would you go? How do you physically protect him from the evils of the world while still raising a good and moral human being?"

Moby-Dick or, The Whale
by
"Captain Ahab is evil, right? I mean, he'd do anything including sacrificing his own crew for revenge. And what about the whale? Moby ain't no saint! Melville, you're warped. I love it!"
