Reply to comment by CustomSawdust in Have you ever read a book so good, that rereading it is physically painful? by CreepyTarot

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.

I will probably go to ebay in 10 seconds and buy it. Haha.
