I haven't read 'Blood Meridian' yet, but the book McCarthy published after that, 'All the Pretty Horses', is my favorite novel of all time. That was the first volume of his "Border Trilogy". The second book, 'The Crossing' is fine, too, if disturbing in spots, and the final volume, 'Cities of the Plain' I have been saving. Tried reading his first book, 'The Orchard Keeper', but couldn't get into it. I think the only other of his books that I've read is 'The Road' - undoubtedly one of the most depressing damned books ever written. Do check out 'All the Pretty Horses', though - it's an amazing book. (I used to own the "blood-stained" prison jacket that Matt Damon wore in the film version, but foolishly sold it before Damon became a big star.)
