    I read Blood Meridian last year, and have honestly never read anything like it before. It’s the most utterly beautiful, most absolutely depraved book I’ve ever read. It’s a masterpiece, and it’s horrific.

    Similarly, The Road, which just left me numb when I finished it. Glad I’d read it, but numb.

    One hell of a writer. #RIP

      Blood Meridian is my favorite book I’ve ever read, but also one of the most challenging. But I’ve had to read it multiple times (three so far) to fully appreciate it, and I think I need even more to fully get it.

      But I can’t get it out of my head. The Judge especially just will not get out of my head.
