Did anyone else feel like author was trying way too hard when he wrote this?

I've read Child of God and The Road. Reading Child of God by chance was actually what kick-started me diving back into reading a lot. The next book of his I'm going to read is Blood Meridian. What book of his would you recommend outside of the 3 I listed?

All of him is worth reading save perhaps the first one.
CoG, The Road and Ncfom are his sparest ones (Ncfom might even have more dialogue than Prose).
The Border trilogy is one of his masterpieces. It's not as spare as the above 3 but McCarthy has really dialled down his 10 dollar words, but replaces it with untranslated spanish.
BM and Suttree are his best regarded. This is his vintage style, linguistic excessive.
Outer dark is very underrated and is the first true McCarthy book.
