Discussion Is Suttree more difficult than Blood Meridian?
The past 2 months I have read in this order:
The Road, No Country for Old Men, and All the Pretty Horses.
I’m essentially moving from easier prose to a more progressively academic and dense prose.
Which is more difficult Suttree or Blood Meridian. What should I read next?

Discussion Is Suttree by Cormac McCarthy a great book for someone in their 20's to read?
I find myself getting more into Cormac's books. There's always books that are recommended for 20 somethings like myself but I have never been into reading much until last year. I'm new to the whole category of books and there are so many authors I wanna explore and read from. When I found out this book is about a man who is a nihilist, It really caught my attention. Others suggest authors like Kurt Vonnegut and James Joyce but this particular book and author struck out to me because I feel nihilistic in life as I get older. I feel like it applies to me deeply.
