read that a #BloodMeridian movie was in the works; who should play ...

Wow.

Late to this one.

Bit of a trip.

I was just starting this when the sad news of #CormacMcCarthy’s passing broke.

I enjoy all his work & return to it often, but #BloodMeridian is his masterpiece - poetic, savage, & profound. I’ve read this a few times now & there are images I just cannot shake. And the Judge is perhaps his most compelling and inscrutable antagonist.

The final third through to it’s devastating conclusion is just masterful. Perfect even. & finishing it just now, man, it still hits.

This really makes me sad. RIP Cormac - you were the best.

Lesser known fact, #RidleyScott bought the rights to #BloodMeridian, but he never produced it, because it would be too difficult to re-create McCarthy’s achievement

#CormacMcCarthy’s lack of punctuation style in #TheRoad is strange to me and I’m not quite sure why it’s a thing. It does distract me, but it’s not game-breaking or anything. I assume #BloodMeridian will be the same way, but this will not be my next read. I do already own it and it will eventually be read, but there’s others I want to read first, starting with #NickCutter’s #TheTroop, which has been on my reading list for years!

“The carrion birds sat about the topmost corners of the houses with their wings outstretched in attitudes of exhortation like dark little bishops.”

@Whiskey_bottle @likewise #bloodmeridian is very disturbing. Yet with all of #CormacMcCarthy’s writing it’s the very prose that is so addicting. #NoCountryForOldMen is a good read as well.

I've listened to #BloodMeridian by #CormacMcCarthy on #audible

I'm honestly floored. Such a well written story and the narrative by Richard Poe kept me engaged to the end.

An old list of my favorite novels. Would change all but the top two now.

Though am sharing because I think it works as #LiteraryCriticism fairly well.

My only complaint with my #Writing is that book three the #BloodMeridian #Review is snarky even though I put so high as a favorite.

The books are: 1 Stone Junction 2 Gravity's Rainbow 3 Blood Meridian 4 little, big 5 the ocean at the end of the lane.

“They Rode On” - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian

#CormacMcCarthy #BloodMeridian

“Specter horsemen, pale with dust, anonymous in the crenellated heat. Above all else they appeared wholly at venture, primal, provisional, devoid of order” Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian

#cormacmccarthy #bloodmeridian

“Notions of chance and fate are the preoccupation of men engaged in rash undertakings.” - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian

#CormacMcCarthy #BloodMeridian

“What joins men together is not the sharing of bread but sharing of enemies.” - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian

#CormacMcCarthy #BloodMeridian

“All progressions from a higher to a lower order are marked by ruins and mystery and a residue of nameless rage.” - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian

#cormacmccarthy #bloodmeridian

“War is the truest form of divination. It is the testing of one's will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god.” Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian

@dcnahm @lexipenia Much as I love Pynchon, I'd probably still vote #BloodMeridian. It's the book that will haunt me to my dying hours.
