My favourite author. In fact, probably the world's greatest living novelist. Anybody here into his stuff?

Personally never heard of this guy, what kind of writer is he, fact, fiction, horror etc?

Im really into reading at the moment, so I asked for a new book for Christmas and I got 9. Its a shame I am a very slow reader, it will take me over 10 years to read them all.

He's a crusty old American writer that writes about all kinds of stuff. Kind of like Ernest Hemingway. He wrote the novel that No Country for Old Men was based on, which is one of his lesser books. If you want a starter, pick up The Road. It's short, and one of his best.
