Blood Meridian is the only McCarthy I’ve read, and it’s been a long time. What would y’all recommend for the next one?

I’m not as cultured as soon of the enthusiasts here, but All the Pretty Horses was the only novel I read in school that I actually enjoyed.

I'd do No Country and then The Road, stand alone novels that are short to medium in length.

I'd read the border trilogy next.

Suttree is great too and would read that, longer than the others though is why I'd recommend the others first.

Those along with Blood Meridian are all I have read so far though so can't comment on his others.
