Cormac McCarthy: Where to Start Reading

Cormac McCarthy often contemplates humanity's darker nature and has created a unique writing style that is influenced by Hemingway and Sam Shepherd. Sally Rooney has also employed similar writing characteristics by eschewing quotation marks and typical punctuation styles.

Recommendations:

1. The Road
2. No Country for Old Men
3. The Border Trilogy
4. Blood Meridian

I read the The Road for a literature class and loved it, and immediately went to Blood Meridian which may have been a mistake. BM was much more challenging but rewarding from every bit of info given by the Judge. Such an interesting character.
