I loved the comps you listed. You'll have to get around to McCarthy's second novel Men In Space which again, is completely different from either C or Remainder, but still has great scenes of humour and a memorable ending. I've just gotten a copy of his study of Tintin - he's really a remarkably intersting and original writer.Maylinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567123729180785372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-38347453318269582752010-09-28T13:01:14.589-04:002010-09-28T13:01:14.589-04:00I never knew there was a section in a sanatorium! ...I never knew there was a section in a sanatorium!

I am so glad that it is good! I'm definitely going to have to get myself a copy now.Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
