"Two Years After Cormac McCarthy's Death, Rare Access to His Personal Library Reveals the Man Behind the Myth"
Reading this article that delves into the life of Cormac McCarthy and his extensive book collection. This quote about the author jumped out at me:
"Cormac considered contemporary fiction a waste of time," said Dennis, "because contemporary writers no longer have a legitimate culture to feed their souls."

Joy and Thankfulness
MagicCons are always special and a good time. This one was no different.
A lot of work goes into these events by a lot of smart and incredibly talented people.
As we celebrated the end of the show, a group of us in the show office went around and shared a one-word answer to represent this show and weekend.
My word was 'joy' - working for a game company can feel sometimes like a silly job but there is no more important sensation or feeling to people these days than that one. And everywhere I looked, everyone I spoke with, and even what I felt inside as I walked the event... It was joy.
Unfiltered. Pure. Social joy.
This evening, after a great dinner with coworkers and now back in my hotel room with my feet up and resting my poor aching lower back - that joy was bloomed into thankfulness.
Thankful for the road I'm on. Thankful to call so many of those smart and incredibly talented people my friends. Thankful that I get to be home with Katie and our dogs tomorrow. Just thankful.
What a magical weekend. Pun fully fucking intended.
