Can we talk about paying $60 for a used copy of Blood Meridian and getting wrecked by it?
I grabbed a beat up paperback at Half Price Books in Austin for $60 last month thinking it was overpriced, then finished the last 40 pages in one sitting at 2am and just stared at the wall. The part with the kid and the tree of dead babies is the only time a book has made me put it down and walk outside. Did the ending hit anyone else like that or did I just read it at the wrong time in my life?
