  I used to read him as he came out, even buying hardback. But after the trilogy, I've slipped somewhat. I have The Road (in paper) sitting on a pile of good intentions.

  Suttree is amazing.  I really enjoyed it.  It's like Ulysses in Tennessee.  I liked Child of God quite a lot, myself.  My favorite McCarthy novels:  The Orchard Keeper (his first) and Blood Meridian.

  Has anyone read The Road?  Most of the folks I know who've read it either completely fell in love with it or hated it.  I've also not read Sunset Limited, a book I'd like to read.

  I loved Suttree very much. I remember that while reading it I had to get up so often to check my unabridged dictionary, that I finally started just underlining the words, making a list of about ten, then looking them all up as once, then returning to the book to marvel at his use. ("Dace bright" shinning and flashing of the river's water, etc.)
