Is this normal or are my comprehension skills just poor? The first half of a book I’ll read 20 pages an hour and the second half I can get up to 40 per hour. Its the first book I’ve read by this author and it almost feels like I’m trying to decipher a different language. I have never been the best with comprehension and have ADHD so I have found myself re reading pages constantly.

It’s normal. How Cormac McCarthy’s publisher allowed a book with no punctuation to be released is beyond me.
I’m halfway through it right now and I’ve found I enjoy it a lot more if I just like…half skim? Like I read everything but if I don’t understand a word or sentence I just keep going without worrying about it and find I still generally understand the scene and what’s happening.
Reading Cormac McCarthy is like looking at modern art, you gotta just squint a bit and not worry too much about understanding everything
