<FONT FACE="Verdana">I have never head BM because I thought ALL THE PRETTY HORSES was one of the most overrated and overwrought books I'd ever read. I thought that book was somewhat ridiculous ode to the homoerotic power of horses/men out on the open plain. I couldn't relate to it at all. And the total lack of humor kind of got to me too.<BR>
<BR>
Would I like BM more than ATPH?<BR>

And the style of BM is ... I don't know ... "poetically stark"??<BR>
<BR>
Great book.<BR>
