I fell in love with his writing last year when I was off work for a month due to a surgery. I read Blood Meridian and was hooked. I’ve read all his fiction except for Outer Dark, Child of God and Suttree. I just recently finished The Orchard Keeper, his first novel. Weird but good, haunting in a way though definitely not my favorite of his books. Blood Meridian is one of the best books I’ve ever read, fiction or non fiction.

When it comes to a favorite, I have to go with Blood Meridian but The Crossing is a very close second. It’s my personal favorite of the Border trilogy.

Not gonna lie…the run-on sentences bother me.

Haven’t read Blood Meridian but based on your strong recommendation, I will have to reconsider.
 
It definitely takes some getting used to. I struggled a bit at first with Blood Meridian but once you get into it, it’s just amazing. If you do wind up reading it I’d love to hear your thoughts, positive and/or negative.
