Both The Road and No Country feel like soft sequels to Blood Meridian. Anton Chigurh is a less fantastic and more grounded version of the judge, a man who wishes to be a demon rather than is one. The Road is kinder, there is no badass and the novel is carried by emotional investment in the protagonists.

All the Pretty Horses is probably his most readable and accessible book. Decent movie with Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz

No Country for Old Men and The Road. Neither are particularly fun books but they're beautifully written like all the rest.
