Blood Meridian is the masterpiece though.

I've only ever read Blood Meridian, which is regarded as his masterpiece. It's pretty awesome. I tried to read All the Pretty Horses years ago, but couldn't get into it. I'll have to give him another try.

When you got movies like Tom Cruise in them, you can't lose!

I’ve read The Road and No Country For Old Men. Both are ok and self contained. I preferred the Road. His style is kind of bleak tho so make sure you are in the right headspace for him.
