Last time I checked, they were using DDOS Protection from Cloudflare which breaks all federation with them. Until that stops, it will not work.

I've been using Bazqux Reader since it's a single guy and seems to work well. I also know that Tiny Tiny RSS is a super cool self hostable one.

Of course, and if you really like his stuff, I would follow his adage, "Books are made out of other books", and start reading McCarthys inspirations. Melville, Faulkner, and Flannery O'Connor among many others.

I think you're primed for the Border Trilogy. All the Pretty Horses is a wonderful book and The Crossing is considered one of his best. If you're feeling like reading something more Faulknerian, his earlier work would be great. Child of God is a shortish read and it definitely leaves an impact on the reader, Outer Dark also being in that same vein.

Finished up my reread of Dune and onto Dune Messiah. I also have House of Leaves and Beckett Molloy trilogy in the wings to start at some point.
