Reply to comment by Trick-Two497 in I don’t want this to sound egotistical, but how can I tell if my reading comprehension is better than my friends? Or if my taste in books is just different? by [deleted]

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe you shouldn't read it. There's no reason to put yourself through that.

Ah well, just one more week in the book club. I try to give things a chance, but I won't read any other McCarthy books in the future.

Right on. I don't have PTSD so I view the book differently. I like his work being dark because it reminds me to enjoy the peace I'm able to have currently. I hope you can find at least some enjoyment before you finish. I'm sorry that you're struggling with it. Peace be with you. Have a nice evening.
