Yes, Blood Meridian. It's the only McCarthy I've ever attempted. I didn't finish. Even though his prose can be enjoyable, the violence just became tedious after 200 or so pages, and the diminishing returns began to mount. If it weren't for me being stuck in a jury sequester room with no other way to block out the morons whom I was jailed with, I doubt I would have even gotten that far.
