I knew of Cormac McCarthy before hand but a friend recently gave me a copy of 'No Country for Old Men' and I couldn't put it down.
For those of you that haven't read McCarthy's work, he writes with almost no use of punctuation. He uses periods and commas, that's about it. No quotations, no colons, semi-colons, or dashes. He states his reason for doing this is he "doesn't like how the marks look on the page."
One could argue he's being lazy, but his descriptions are so vivid that you quickly forget about the abnormal writing style and become engrossed in the story itself.
