I have tried reading one book by Cormac McCarthy - The Road.
Do not make the same error as I did - do not start reading that book without finding out something about the book. There are plenty of reviews. Try reading a short sample before purchase ;-)
You have compared reading of books written by Charles Dickens to listening to Mozart. I would compare reading The Road to listening to Techno-Trash-Metal.

I do not know, perhaps his other books are ... different. I am unlikely to find out, because I will never *ever* read anything he wrote.
