you can still key in codes for the cheapest of item (for example, celery instead of organic whatever) and no one pays any attention and it saves me a fuckton of money on organic produce

Absolutely, this thread is for all Cormac McCarthy, and Blood Meridian gets the most discussion out of all of them a lot of the time.

As it should. It is the best western ever written and easily one of the best books in English of the 20th century, up there with Salman Rushdie and DFW.

It is a sophisticated and nuanced exploration of the dark side of human nature set within the extremes of liminality, in time and geography and space, and in that sense is shoulder to shoulder with Moby Dick, another American fiction colossus. As historical fiction it is dense and realistic and deeply accurate. I gush, but I love this book to death.
