Too little time to type up words. Urgh.

I've recently begun to read this book by Cormac McCarthy and love it because of its unfettered obsession with darkness, and so have decided to do it for the Forensics league. I wanted to know what you guys thought of my selection before I put it up for judging by our captains in October.

I can also mix and match related parts from the book as I see fit, so if you think something doesn't fit or a section could be done away with, please write in the comments.

Music at the end from Nine Inch Nails.

And, actually, it's part of a free download. Handily.

Enjoy.

Will add words tomorrow.
