Agreed about his writing style. There's this scene in Blood Meridian, where, for the past 3 chapters, he's been using tiny sentences and curt language. THen suddenly an Apache warband pops up from the side of horses and it's one sentence that goes the whole page and just fucks your brain in the best way

Guess it's time to read All the Pretty Horses.
The road is definitely on my "TO READ" list. In fact, I should just abandon my current book (an attempt at comedy called "Hell") and just read the damn thing! It's been on my list too long and I know I love me some McCarthy

EDIT: just bought it on Amazon, good thing I charged muh Kindle last night
