Liked "Blood Meridian" by McCarthy- looked at "The Road" but it wasn't for me. I'm all for a bit of gloom and doom but that was some heavy slogging.

Actually if people on this thread can recommend drugged up fuck ups stories, preferably violent, in the middle on nowhere in America in the middle of the 22d century… I'm all ears.
Good thread. Violent drug stories..."Crimes in Southern Indiana" & "Donnybrook" both by Frank Bill. "Poachers" and "Hell at the Breech" both by Tom Franklin. "The Devil all the Time" by Donald Ray Pollack. "Winter's Bone" by Daniel Woodrell. Anything by Woodrell I'd read his feckin shopping list. And I second the Joe R.Lansdale rec he's really good. Anything by George Pelecanos. Anything by Don Winslow, Thomas Perry, "The Butcher's Boy"...

Like dystopian cyberpunk stuff? I might have a couple if so…
-
Add to the list of crazed Americans -
"Knockemstiff"- Donald Ray Pollock, "All We Need Of Hell" & "A Childhood" by the late great Harry Crews,
"Volt", Alan Heathcock

Just finished reading "Cryptonomicon" by Neal Stephenson. Enjoyable, but I have mixed emotions about it. Mostly because it felt like it was building toward a more monumental conclusion than it actually had.
-
Agreed, but as a geek I still love the darn thing. I love how Stephenson has cross-generational storylines in this and other books. Having Alan Turing as a character is a huge plus too. I think Snow Crash is probably a bit better in a way and I have not read the Diamond Age.
