re: trying to read blood meridian

I slogged through the first 3/4 then read the last 100 pages or so in one sitting. It heats up a little at the end when the crews camp gets raided. While I was reading it I didn’t think much of it, just that it’s overrated. However, after I had finished it it stuck with me for weeks and I found myself watching YouTube videos on all the different themes and symbolism. It’s a heavy book and one I’ll never forget. I read East of Eden after which is another of the boards favorites and it didn’t resonate with me nearly as much as blood meridian
