Blood Meridian

Blood Meridian is a book I both wanted to read and not read because despite loving The Road (and the film,The Counselor, not many people did) it was too depressing. I have decided to give this one a go and I loved it, even though it is a hard novel to read, it left a deep impression on me and its effect is not waning in the least. This is a very violent and depressing novel but it is high end literature. So if you like reading but you are not that into literature then this is not really for you. But if you like literature I urge you to give this a try even if you are squeamish, just the art of the prose will be worth it.
