I think it successfully captures the feel of the decay of the old west particularly well, though.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stephen Donner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jul 2007 21:56:12 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: All the Pretty Horses, by Cormac McCarthy</title><link>http://john.jubjubs.net/2007/06/24/all-the-pretty-horses-by-cormac-mccarthy/#comment-1418758</link><description>Sold.
