Is this normal or are my comprehension skills just poor? The first half of a book I’ll read 20 pages an hour and the second half I can get up to 40 per hour. Its the first book I’ve read by this author and it almost feels like I’m trying to decipher a different language. I have never been the best with comprehension and have ADHD so I have found myself re reading pages constantly.
As said, McCarthy is both an acquired taste and can be difficult. I could read it and “get it”, but just don’t want to suffer the effort. If after something unique then have at it, but if wanting an enjoyable story pleasantly conventional but meaningful then modernism is the way to go.
