I read The Road at the beginning of the summer which lead me to read his Border Trilogy (have had to ask the kids for a little help with some of the occasional Spanish used through out). I’m just getting into the third one, Cities of the Plain. I absolutely love the images McCarthy can create with words. Odd style, yes, and I wonder how he ever found a publisher willing to take him on!

So I’m into a fourth book by him, no chance of a happy ending in this one, either, if I was a betting person. I’m always waiting for the next bad thing to happen, sometimes it does right away, sometimes it takes a few pages.
