<p>Pardon the intrusion, but I've done this before and it was helpful.</p>
<p>I teach English in a very good school--bright, high-achieving student body--and for the third time in the past two years, a student (or former student) has told me that Cormac McCarthy was one of his favorite writers. Anyway, I've long considered teaching him in class, and I was wondering whether anybody here has read any of his novels for class. If so, how did it go?</p>
