Been a long wait since The Road, looking forward to these.

I will say that my gut instinct on first finishing The Passenger was that fans of Suttree (my favorite, and possibly my favorite novel period) will be especially fond of it.

Love Suttree so this is promising news. My copy was delivered yesterday, so just waiting for the right time to dive in.

I'm a bit over halfway through, and while I enjoy following Western along and these random conversations he has with people, the chapters with his sister and her hallucination crew I find really tedious.

Well after finishing I'm disappointed to say that this was my least favorite of his novels that I've read - still haven't got around to his first three. I doubt I'll even bother with Stella Maris unless I find it at the library at some point.

The Crossing is one of the bleakest stories he’s written (also one of the best)

Honestly I think The Crossing is my favorite of all his books.

Finally got around to Stella Maris, and found it a painful slog to get through even as short as it was. Alicia is just insufferable as a character and I found very little of what she had to say interesting.
