A taut and haunting masterpiece of minimalism.

One day this book will end.

I was just reading about the name of The Judge's gun, "Et in Arcadia Ego", which is mentioned, but never explained. It is taken from a painting by Guercino showing two young shepherds staring at a skull. So it represents death and symbolises the fact that death is present everywhere. Even in Arcadia. This makes a lot of sense...

And I thought "The Road" was bleak..

"In the morning a urine-colored sun rose blearily through panes of dust on a dim world and without feature. The animals were failing. They halted and made a dry camp without wood or water and the wretched ponies huddled and whimpered like dogs. That night they rode through a region electric and wild where strange shapes of soft blue fire ran over the metal of the horses..."

It turns out salt is less interesting than I thought...

So far so good. Nothing that terrible has happened yet..
