literary loose ends

For a way-better-than mine summary and discussion of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian [warning: not for the faint of heart], see DavidK's blog.

For those of you who are eager to get going on the pilgrim book club, let's start with "The Ones Who Walk From Omelas", which you can find online here.* I hereby nominate DavidK (self-avowed LeGuin fan) to write the first post on the story, and then we can all chime in with our observations, comments, queries, and high-fives.

Note: All book group posts can now be easily found under the sidebar category of "Book Club."

*Hat tip to Brooke for the link.

Are the 7 pages found at your link the entire thing? I was expecting more of a novel, but if 7 pages is it, that's great! :-)

Thanks to Miko, I recognized the author of this piece...

"Omelas" is a short story. A pretty quick read, IMO. :)
