Is this normal or are my comprehension skills just poor? The first half of a book I’ll read 20 pages an hour and the second half I can get up to 40 per hour. Its the first book I’ve read by this author and it almost feels like I’m trying to decipher a different language. I have never been the best with comprehension and have ADHD so I have found myself re reading pages constantly.
I read a lot and without sounding like a douche consider my reading comprehension very high. I gave up on Blood Meridian. I’ve enjoyed other Cormac books, but I had no idea what was happening in BM. Whole pages would go by where I didn’t know what, if anything, had happened. Some books just aren’t on your wavelength. I envy people who seem to like it and get it. Just not for me.
