The Road is a great book. I love the morality in the story. McCarthy has his own style for sure but he's the greatest living writer in my opinion and one of the best of the 20th century.
You should give his other stuff a chance. If you're not familiar with his work you'd be surprised at the titles you'd recognize.
Also read on a blog that The Road is being adapted for film with Viggo Mortensen as the lead. Expected out next year or '09. That would be epic.
Blood Meridian is also supposed to be set for film with Ridley Scott directing.
