Have you read "What would the world be like without us?" ?
I think it might be similar to Revenge... considering getting it for my mum for christmas.

Cormac McCarthy - No Country for Old Men
It's a great read; although McCarthy's style of writing could be described as «no-frills», «back-to-basics», «sparse» or whatever, he does a great job at setting moods and making the reader fell like he's where the action is. The plot is straight-forward enough but fast-paced, and Chigurh has to be one of the baddest motherfuckers ever. The ending... well... not many like it. I loved it.

I just finished Colbert's book. It would be funny to hear him read it, but as text it's pretty weak.
