I liked The Road and No Country for Old Men (book and movie for each) but the fans of Blood Meridian have loudly set the expectations too high for any book to meet them. I'll get to it eventually but for now it's staying on ice. I'd much rather give All the Pretty Horses a run first if I'm picking up more Cormac.

Yeah, I don't really recommend it. I loved his other books.

Blood Meridian is a book I have a hard time recommending, but one I feel made me a better, more observant reader. One of the most bizarre, great, dogshit books I’ve ever read. Years after reading it, I finally “got” the ending with the kid and the girl. First read, I’d stupidly assumed the kid was the hero!

That bear looks really adorable there, like he's taking a little nap.
