Suttree and The Crossing are his best works.

I've read Blood Meridian, The Road, No Country for Old Men and All the Pretty Horses. Should I read those two as well, or move on? Life's short.

Just a week for each book, don't be dramatic.

Lmao, unless you're a NEET you're not going to be able to read Suttree in a week. Maybe you could skim it, but then why even read McCarthy if you aren't going to look up all his references and obscure words—let alone contemplate the work itself!

If you're doing all that on a first read, you don't know how to read a book.

Your idea of a first reading is looking at meaningless ink on a page.
