To become a half-steppin’ chump, you can read through 50 Cent’s various forays into co-written literature, including From Pieces to Weight: Once Upon a Time in Southside Queens, Derelict, and his recent self help book, The 50th Law. If you are a total gangster, you read books by Cormac McCarthy. The next book-to-movie translation coming from the McCarthy bibliography (following on the heels of No Country for Old Men) is The Road. Set for release November this year, The Road is set in an apocalyptic near future and stars Charlize Theron, Viggo Mortensen, Guy Pearce, and Robert Duvall. The book was great for many of the same reasons that McCarthy always succeeds with me: dark portrayals of people at the edge of civilization, the strain of ethics and morality in violent situations, people pushed to their limits, and people doing badass shit. This story lacks the typical evil-yet-philosophically-inclined super-villain, but fortunately IMDB says McCarthy’s Blood Meridian is set for 2011 film release. You have two years to familiarize yourself with that, gangster.
