Yelping with Cormac

Although I swore I wouldn't read it, I just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It gave me nightmares. But, I think I'll read a sequel or maybe even two.

Would I read a sequel to The Road? It still makes my flesh crawl. But I did get a kick out of reading the blog Yelping with Cormac, restaurant reviews written in the style of Cormac McCarthy.
