The border trilogy by Cormac McCarthy. Masculine characters, great writing, and long enough to last you through summer.

Never read any of his books nor do I know much of anything about them outside of Josh Brolin, which is odd because you’re both literally and figuratively my IRL dad.
So with that said, is there any hope for me or will I always be gay?
Also speaking of rugged masculine adventures (with a great sense of gallows humor in his case), any thoughts on Edward Abbey (I love all his works, but you already know that given our family dogs being BFFs and all ❤️)

Does the Viggo Mortensen movie count? Saw it in theatres with one of my sisters, and it we both remarked on how spooky it felt leaving the theatre’s last showing and coming out to dark deserted streets on a windy fall night, as if we were the only two (humans) left alive.
(Made us really appreciate the warmth of hearth and home in a visceral way.)
The best way to appreciate something is to know it can be lost, Chesterton observed…

i have never read Abbey. I will!
I think you'd like CM. It's fairly common for no one to say anything until like page 67 and you can probably go 100s of pages without a girl talking.
I often think about, in a completely heterosexual way, you and I on horseback, riding across the border, ready for whatever happens.

Sounds exactly like Abbey in terms of genuine earnest quality - a nagging sense of the traditional understanding that there’s such thing as real Right and Wrong, immersive and hauntingly beautiful atmosphere, high-stakes adventure that brings out our best whether we like it or not (courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway, John Wayne sagely said)…
…genuine camaraderie, a reminder that solitude and loneliness are not even close to being synonyms, and that just one good friend, platonic or romantic, is often all we need, and sometimes that one good friend unexpectedly comes in female romance form though platonic male camaraderie is more likely (tp) - but the more serious one (stoic older brother + equally principled but always mirthful younger brother)
Your poasts have always had a way of opening unexpected windows to Heaven…
I know I poast these a lot, but…

180 quotes. Reminds me of the hemingway epigraph to Sun Also Rises. CM is very down river of Hem, but I think he surpasses him.
But the parts of Hemingway I always liked, esp in the Michigan stories, was that shell-shocked faith in the timelessness of creation. One of the demonic parts of life today, after the atom bomb and endangered species, etc., is the fear that we could ruin everything. It's the idea, really, that we are big and potent, which is terrifying.
Im humbled by art that confronts an earth that feels timeless, and really untouchable and unknowable by man.
"One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth forever . . . The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to the place where he arose."

🥰🥰🥰
Men are unironically 180, yourself included, because I love Hemingway, so that’s a rousing endorsement, given that it’s from someone whose poasts I would sincerely love to have in a coffee table book form, no joke (I’ll routinely find myself trying to remember where I got a certain idea that’s indispensable for orienting me in AD 2024 space and time and beyond… and then I’ll remember it’s from you, in one of your many gorgeous eras [have I mentioned I love men?])
Man just as good old GKC always said - we were made to feel wholesomely small in a large cosmic tapestry; but now we feel clumsily large in a small drab “world.” Abbey urged that all we can do is earnestly try to enjoy the good stuff remaining while it lasts: that’s the most pure tribute, really appreciating fresh air, beautiful scenery, cute bustling woodland creatures, gracious neighbors, happy carefree young people enjoying the moment, all of those hints of Home.
CR. ❤️❤️❤️ The Enchanted Realm…
That gorgeous (Ecclesiastes?) epigraph… it feels like only yesterday when I first encountered it, an enchanted vacation read in a timeless (presently Boomer, for better or worse) resort town West of the Rockies… God bless you, my mysteriously Proustian brother in the cosmic Journey Home…
