    Cormac's No Country For Old Men / The Road / Border Trilogy are all excellent and pretty easy to follow.

    However his early work baffles me at times.

    I'm re-reading his first book "The Orchard Keeper" at the moment and really struggling to follow it again. Most of it is more like poetry than a novel.

    FFS, I'll answer him.

    I've read The Road. Thought it was brilliant.

    Tried to read Blood Meridian 3 times and keep ditching it.

    Never read anything by the other guy.

    Now shut up ya dick.
