I read The Road for a class at the beginning of a depressive episode. I then had to read a semesters worth of Cormac McCarthy books, including Blood Meridian and Outer Dark. I really appreciate his skill as an author but my god the last thing I needed to do at that time was deeply read and analyze those books for hours on end. I want to finish the Border Trilogy but it’s been 12 years and this lady still needs a break from that level of bleakness.
