Writer of my favorite books. I am broke.

"How surely are the dead beyond dead. Death is what the living carry with them. A state of dread, like some uncanny foretaste of a bitter memory. But the dead do not remember and nothingness is not a curse. Far from it."

Cormac McCarthy, Suttree

To me, he and Camus illuminate the struggle of life. You make your own reason. The struggle is the reason.
