  1. I don't think I've read a book before that made me as uncomfortable (both in positive and negative sentiments) as Blood Meridian.

  2. A friend suggested Blood Meridian to me. Holy sh*t this book is quite some trip...

  3. Got some reader glasses as I wanted to read more in 2025. Starting with where I left off in Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.

    Due to internet addiction and blurry eyes I haven't finished a book in a long while. Trying to make time each day.

  4. Since its release in 1985, there's been a lot of discussion about the fate of the protagonist in Blood Meridian. I, for one, think he goes on to become a rock star in Minneapolis.

  5. read that a #BloodMeridian movie was in the works; who should play ...

  6. I was just starting this when the sad news of #CormacMcCarthy’s passing broke.

    I enjoy all his work & return to it often, but #BloodMeridian is his masterpiece - poetic, savage, & profound. I’ve read this a few times now & there are images I just cannot shake. And the Judge is perhaps his most compelling and inscrutable antagonist.

    The final third through to it’s devastating conclusion is just masterful. Perfect even. & finishing it just now, man, it still hits.

  8. If you ever forced me to name my favorite book of all time, it would be #BloodMeridian by #CormacMcCarthy. What earthshaking, life-altering dangerous gorgeous bloody big brutal time-echoing soul-haunting piece of work. Forever shook after first reading it. And a close second was #Suttree. A distant third: #theRoad . What a giant we lost today. RIP.

  9. This really makes me sad. RIP Cormac - you were the best.

    Lesser known fact, #RidleyScott bought the rights to #BloodMeridian, but he never produced it, because it would be too difficult to re-create McCarthy’s achievement

  10. “The carrion birds sat about the topmost corners of the houses with their wings outstretched in attitudes of exhortation like dark little bishops.”

  11. @bookstodon @dtauvdiodr My personal recommendation for 1st time McCarthy read would be No Country for Old Men. It’s so beautifully written & many ppl have seen the excellent movie. #BloodMeridian is a masterpiece but it is brutal. McCarthy says his favorite novel is #mobydick so I’m reading it now. You can see how it informs his writing.

    Ok, I fibbed. One last go-to comfort re-read: the #Discworld series, also by Terry Pratchett (Is listing an entire series cheating? I can't possibly pick one. Sorry not sorry.)

  13. @Whiskey_bottle @likewise #bloodmeridian is very disturbing. Yet with all of #CormacMcCarthy’s writing it’s the very prose that is so addicting. #NoCountryForOldMen is a good read as well.
