Page 1. Sound out the prose in your head anon. The book is an absolute pleasure that way, even the most inconsequential shit.

I mean, McCarthy's complete and utter disregard for punctuation kinda makes you have to either read it out loud or sound it out in your head to work out some lines.

Sound-it-out-in-your-head anon here. What i meant was that the rhythms of the prose become apparent when you read it out loud or at least pay attention to the phonetics of the words while reading. It's great that way and those who kinda hate McCarthy's syntax may come to like it. Its Moby dick not only because its an epic, but also because it's a prose poem Moby dick.

*Its compared to Moby dick not only because its an epic, but also because its a prose poem like MD.

Yeah, all McCarthy audiobooks are great. Suttree is my personal favorite because McCarthy's language there is at its best and Richard poe for once did a good reading.
