He was a living legend, I'm glad to have read his novels and be at the same timeline. He's simply an incredible author. My first McCarthy book was The Road and I remember thinking that the prose was so simple yet still so powerful.

The Road haunted me for days. Now that I have offspring I don’t think I can ever read it again.

I read it when the movie came out. I read it in the same night I saw the movie. I've never felt as hollow as I did when the credits rolled.
