Probably won’t read any more McCarthy after this.

So is this your first McCarthy novel? I consider him one of my favorite authors, but “Blood Meridian” was nothing special to me. Neither was “The Road” which is always highly praised and was my first book of his. The reason why I consider McCarthy a great author is his Border Trilogy, starting with “All the Pretty Horses”, it was so atmospheric and touching. There is always some violence but the focus of those books is elsewhere, it hits hard in the feels ;) So maybe, before you decide never to give him another chance, try that one more book. If you do, I’d love to hear about your experience.
