Find work you like

 

I am usually on the lookout for articles on Cormac McCarthy - so I'm not sure how I missed this Rolling Stone interview from Dec. 2007.

 He suggests that the event that caused the apocalypse in his novel, "The Road" was a meteor hit.

I also love this:

But all this talk about the end of the world has made him appreciate more than ever what he has. "There is for a man two things in life that are very important, head and shoulders above everything else," he says. "Find work you like, and find someone to live with you like. Very few people get both."

This is a wise guy.

I am currently reading Suttree, which is called in the interview his most autobiographical book. If so, man, he has lived a life.
