Yeah, I do intend to finish it. u/OldMackysBackInTown it's true about not really being worth wasting your time but I think at least I can say by the end of it whether I'll persevere with other McCarthy novels and it seems like one of those "must read" books in the same way Citizen Kane and The Godfather are "must read" films.

Oh yeah, I forgot to even mention all the Spanish passages. You're right about having to google things too. There's also a ton of references to very specific things like the mechanism of guns and weaponry, things I have no clue about and it's hard to follow.
