    Start with Sutree. It’s laugh out loud funny in places, and doesn’t have any of the existencial dread of The Road or exquisite horror of Blood Meridian.

    The Border Trilogy next, then No Country.

    I’ve read Blood Meridian 3 times - waiting to get my book club hooked for the 4th. It’s… Amazing.

    I don’t think I’ll read The Road again.

      I will add those to my pile of books to be read. I’ve had The Road on the stack for awhile, but just haven’t felt emotionally ready for it. I’ll try Sutree and go from there.
