"Child of God"

I've read some Cormac McCarthy books that I've loved and some I wasn't too wild about. This one was probably the strangest. It definitely took degradation to it's lowest. The character, Lester Ballard, roams the countryside of East Tennessee preying on the locals with his strange desires. The novel promised some humor but I sure didn't find any. I felt like I was watching a bizarre episode of Twilight Zone gone mad. I definitely don't understand the title.

Found out that the new job is still waiting for the results of my drug test. I doubt that. I think it's a convenient excuse to cover someone's incompetence.
