I don’t know if it’s my ADHD or if it’s a common thing but I’m not a very casual reader. When I’m enjoying a book, it is very hard for me to put down. I have enjoyed a good many books but they tend to consume me until I am finished.
I’ve read, and thoroughly enjoyed, The Road. After seeing Blood Meridian highly recommended I decided to give it a go.
It has taken me well over a month to get 30% through it. I find myself rather bored and uninvested in it.
So, does it get better? Or should I just give it a DNF?
If you just shrugged at the legion of horribles passage, there’s probably not much point continuing. Consider returning to it in a few years or after reading other McCarthy books.
