He's my favorite author.
I've read The Road, No Country, Outer Dark, All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, Blood Meridian, and The Passenger.
I probably enjoyed ATPH the most of the two I've read from the Border Trilogy. The cowboy romanticism and humor were top notch.
I also REALLY enjoyed the Passenger. I know this one is hit or miss for a lot of his fans, but it had such a weird vibe to it unlike his other works. I also read chapter notes/breakdowns from a literary scholar while reading it and it helped me with themes that I may have otherwise missed.

The Road was the first book I read and McCarthy’s storytelling in that book and writing style in that book hooked me. If you’ve not ready any of his books, I’d start there or No Country which are my 2 favorites.

quote:Just finished The Passenger. I loved it. It's not in the upper tier of his books IMO, but it's still a great book. I know that some criticized it as not having a plot, but I never had that feeling while reading it. I'm going to start tonight on Stella Maris.
