Read a few more short stories from I Found This Funny and I did indeed find a few of them funny. By far the most hilarious was a collection of illustrations. This entry was a bit vulgar, however, we can all agree that vulgarity makes everything all the more hilarious! I eventually got bored of reading short stories and decided to start reading something new. I browsed the library for a bit and eventually decided to go with a book that was recommended as a must read in class. Yesterday I started reading No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy. Haven't gotten far into the book yet, but I can already tell it is going to be a very interesting book. So far a man, Lleweyln Moss, found a drug deal gone bad that ended with three dead bodies and a truck load of illicit drugs left in the middle of the desert. Moss found a few guns at the scene of the murder and took them with him for extra protection. Moss assumed someone had to get away from the scene alive so he follows a blood trail until he finds high ground that will give him leverage. While on higher ground Moss spots a blue object far in the distance and decides to investigate. He finds yet another dead body and accompanying the body is a briefcase...a briefcase containing 2.4 MILLION dollars. Moss takes the guns and the money home and hides it under his bed while, for the most part, keeping his wife in the dark about the whole situation. And all of that happened in just 20 pages or so! Can't wait to continue reading...only if I had the time to sit down and read...but I guarantee you will be reading more about this book in the coming week or so! Happy Reading everyone!
