I would second that, and add Suttree towards the end. I personally found The Road a little awkward, it felt unfortunately like an experiment in the SF / post-apocalyptic genre that was less successful than his surreal westerns.

And if you still want more westerns after that, Lonesome Dove and Paradise Sky. Neither are McCarthy, but they’re both amazing and will resonate with the same audience.
