I feel like blood meridian just had more distinct “chapters”. Like it was broken up a little more into distinct parts whereas the road just kept trucking along. Making it feel shorter because it was just more lengthy drawn out take as opposed to being broken up.

I read the road first. What a harrowing tale. As a father of two young boys it I was fucking wrecked.

Blood meridian has made it hard for me. Every other book I read I compare to it in terms of scope, concept, description and prose.

Still reading, but it feels different now.

I finished blood meridian last month. It was dense. It was tough. Some of it was a slog as he describes the country. The story is incredible. I had to look up so many words and reread so many passages. I’d do it all again. Goddamn what a story. Now I’m reading the dark tower series and it’s amazing how much easier it is to read but it just doesn’t hold the same weight.

Keep at it. What a tale.
