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.

    McCarthy’s style takes a while to get used to.

    I restarted the Road a couple times. It was the first book of his I read and I found it difficult to follow initially. Who’s talking? Is this a conversation? Are these thoughts?

    But he’s very consistent. Once you get tuned into his style, he’s very exciting.
