Aw, shucks Jayna. Thanks for the kind words!

Cormac tends to be an acquired taste. It took some getting used to for me to finish The Road. Blood Meridian and Suttree are generally regarded as his best, though that hardly means the rest of his body of work is some sort of 'slouch' effort. I have heard that The Orchard Keeper is his weakest but worth reading anyway (it was his first novel, so that makes sense).

Outer Dark is highly controversial, if I'm not mistaken, as well as Child of God.

No Country for Old Men has a brilliant movie adaptation and I have zero doubts as to the quality of the literature of which it's derived.

I can gush about this old coot all day. (He's 84 last I checked, which scares me at times)
