It's a vicious story about the international drug trade, and it's a story without a single shred of hope. However, this book isn't really about getting rich quick and dying trying. After he finds over $2 million in drug money-7 million smackers in 2015 money-Llewelyn Moos spends the rest of his life-which ends up not being very long-on the run from a psychopath named Anton Chigurh, who will stop at nothing to get all that money back. This dude chooses the sack of cash behind door number three-that's the door filled with guns and heroin. What would you do with all that dough?Īctually, the more interesting question is what would you do for all that dough? Buy a bunch of magazines from Publisher's Clearinghouse? Humiliate yourself on reality TV? Or steal it from a gang of drug dealers and run like a bat out of Hades?Īnyway, money is the question facing the main character in Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men. But whatever you do, your life and the lives of your family would be totally different with that kind of money. You can even donate a few bucks to a charity of your choice. You can eat at Chipotle every day until you die, or you can finally complete your collection of rare Game Boy games. Seven million dollars can change your life.
