iamnobody - How was Blood Meridian? Cormac McCarthy is a favourite of mine and I know this novel of his has received lots of critical acclaim. I was just wondering what your view of it is, because I haven't read it yet.

Blood Meridian-relentlessly brutal, but definitely worth reading.

I was reading Blood Meridian. I have read the border trilogy and The Road previously this year which I liked alot. However, 150 pages into Blood Meridian I have put it back on the shelf and begun on another book. I found it immensely boring (even though ALOT of stuff is going on) and to me it was quite difficult to even understand which character says what (I'm not a native English speaker, though I prefer reading English books in english, and McCarthy is making it more difficult than nescessary).

I will get back to it and finish it this summer, hopefully I'll like it then
