I can't see myself re-reading Blood Meridian any time soon
I just finished Blood Meridian...
It's easily one of the most impactful novels I've ever read. Absolutely loved it. I could go on and on about how great it is, as I'm sure most of the users in sub would too.
But I have to say, I feel absolutely exhausted now that I've finished it. It was one of the darkest stories I've experienced, sure, but it's not because of that. This book is just sooooo expansive and dense. It didn't take me terribly long to finish it (a little over a month), but it feels like I've been on this journey for many months.
I just felt like posting this because I see so many people captured by this novel that it made them re-read it multiple times and, alrhough this book was definitely right up my alley, I can't imagine myself picking it up again for at least several months. And now I almost feel like I'm lazy for not wanting to dig in deeper, lol. Because I definetely want to revisit this in the future, but not sure when...
Anyway, just needed to get this out there. How do you guys do it?? Seriously, this felt almost overwhelming.
Fantastic stuff!! Definitely re-readable, but damn. It's an undertaking.
