I have Blood Meridian in my TBR stack, started it once and put it down. This will make me finish it at last. /I hope/
I'm definitely in for Blood Meridan. I've been meaning to read that for a while.

I was disappointed with Blood Meridian. Perhaps it was all the hype. It's beautifully written, no doubt about it, though after a while I found even the lyrical language became repetitive. Maybe someone could do a count on how often he uses the term slant-wise or just [fill in the blank]-wise. It left me wondering if it was just an exercise in style over substance. Or perhaps it is McCarthy's skill to articulate the great emptiness? Still haven't made up my mind.

i am also like Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.
I haven't even heard of many of these titles, but I voted for The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea.
Going once...

Ha! I'm past 50 votes now so went for Blood Meridian, seeing as i've already bought it.
Nail in the coffin.
T for Tea.
I can't remember if I bought the book or not? And if I did I can't find it. I could swear I had a copy.
