Cormac wrote some fantastic books, including The Road and No Country For Old Men. His most legendary book is Blood Meridian, IMO. A book no one has been able to successfully translate into film

I’ve read each of his novels. The man could put a sentence together. I had stopped reading fiction when I read
All the Pretty Horses at my father’s urging and I never looked back.
Blood Meridian is without a doubt his greatest novel but its depiction of the American West is overwhelmingly nightmarish and macabre.
All the Pretty Horses and
No Country for Old Men are both very fine and more accessible. His John Grady Cole is one of literature’s finest creations:
What he loved in horses was what he loved in men, the blood and the heat of the blood that ran them. All his reverence and all his fondness and all the leanings of his life were for the ardenthearted and they would always be so and would never be otherwise.
