speaking of mccarthy: i tried watching "the road" but meh. then again a movie is not a book. but mccarthy is hard to read for me

I’m halfway through Blood Meridian but I find it incredibly depressing and also quite … I’m not sure pretentious is the right word, but something akin to that.
But I love a good impenetrable sonofabitch of a book because the payoff is often pretty huge. We’ll see if that’s the case here.
I don’t think McCarthy’s really “for me,” but I reckon I’ll finish this.
