re: trying to read blood meridian

I found that sometimes when I had to reread a line because it was kind of convoluted and used unusual words or because I hadn't been giving it my full focus, the phrasing was actually very clever once I got it.

But having to pay close attention to the words and sometimes reread lines requires work and can break the immersion a little, so it's a trade-off.

The director of The Proposition is doing the movie adaptation. That's the right person for the job. It's going to be intense.
