Everytime i read Blood Meridian. I am reading How High We Go in the Dark right now and am reading only one chapter at a time to make the emotion last. I did this with Cloud Atlas and others. I know after 2-3 chapters if this will be a thing.

Blood Meridian is really powerful, it is hard for me to reread sometimes with the violence, but line for line I think McCarthy is probably the best American writer for prose.

I have never heard of How High We Go but I am going to reserve it on Libby.

Did you read the Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet? Very similar feeling, I had to read it slow because the feelings it gave me were so enticing and rich.
