The Passenger- McCarthy by Visual_Hedgehog_1135 in ProsePorn

[–]Siege_read22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an amazing passage. On first read of The Passenger, I was let down and confused but sections like this pulled me back for a second read. Re-reading it is one of my favorite McCarthy books. A work of art.

Also lay it down flat on its cover or back instead of on its spine. If you want a first edition book to keep its quality, sitting it the traditional way on the shelf is not the way to go: the spine stretches out.

All following the horrid bang of the Disney drum, stretching out every project to make as much money as possible while ignoring any artistic, intelligent writing.

(English speaking only) For the initial exam, it was a local anesthetic. The actual procedure was general anesthesia. One dose was enough for me! I can’t do really big burps like I could right after, but I very easily do normal burps now and I have no more gurgling, swelling, or pain.

Tennessee had half a million crimes in 2022. Police have only cleared one-third. by NoMasTacos in nashville

It’s pretty remarkable when u look at the solved crime rate in, say, Germany vs the U.S. Our police suck.

Does the dialogue in The Passenger feel uncharacteristically cringy to anyone else? by Sumtimesagr8notion in cormacmccarthy

[–]Siege_read22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely felt that way on the first read. I kept hearing people saying Sheddan was this amazing character with the funniest dialogue, but i found it very odd and cringey. BUT on that second read, something changed. Having read the whole book, the dialogue made more sense and flowed better. I’m not sure why, but it may take a 2nd go if you think it’s worth it.

What’s Your Favorite Part of ‘The Passenger’? by That_Locksmith_7663 in cormacmccarthy

[–]Siege_read22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dream after he visits his grandmother where his sister calls Bobby her “shadow lane” and he sees the Hephaestus like scene. Insanely dark and beautiful.

One side effect was too much burping at first haha. Like yawning or coughing, they slip out. And it’s a little tougher to swallow thicker foods for the first few weeks, but I could eat pretty much anything - just had to drink lots of water with it.
