Thank you to everyone for participating in today's meeting and a special thank you to the author, Alan Poon, for attending and being so friendly! Hopefully, we will have a chance to read more from him in the future. Next up is Cormac McCarthy's *No Country For Old Men*. If you don't have the chance to read the book, feel free to watch the movie. It's a classic.

**From the bestselling author of *The Passenger* and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel *The Road* comes a "profoundly disturbing and gorgeously rendered" novel (*The Washington Post*) that returns to the Texas-Mexico border, setting of the famed *Border Trilogy*.**

The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. One day, a good old boy named Llewellyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by a bodyguard of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law—in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell—can contain.

As Moss tries to evade his pursuers—in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives—McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning’s headlines.

*No Country for Old Men* is a triumph.
