The Stranger by Camus. The sentences are a bit short, but pretty good though.

It's just sort of choppy and very matter of fact. He has some poetic things to express but it's mostly very journalistic.  Kinda like a pitcher's duel in baseball. I haven't finished it yet though.

Good choice.  Actually the favorite (for me) of his books.

Everyone really really loves 'Survivor', however.

He's a philosopher before an author, so his storytelling is a bit unorthodox. But I loved that book.

I have The Fall in front of me as I type this.  Going to give it a go at some point this summer.

Just picked that up at a used book store Monday.  Finished The Road a while ago and No Country about a month ago.  Great writer.  Although I have heard that Horses is a bit different than the previous two I have read. 

As for what I am reading now, just finished an interesting article on Dylan from RS.

for McCarthy, you should really read Blood Meridian. it is far, far better than any of those other ones.

I really enjoyed that Dylan article myself.  As for his assertion that once he's gone we will not see the likes of him again, I have to agree.  He really represents the last songwriter/performer of his kind.

The Fall is pretty good.  It took me about an hour and a half to read it.  Not difficult at all.
