I picked up Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy a few months ago and it has been quite the struggle. After seeing No Country for Old Men I looked up a bit about the author and saw that Blood Meridian was thought to be his masterpiece, so I waited about a week and took it out of the library.

The way it is written is so foreign to me I have to read at a snails pace and try to pick up pieces wherever I can. I can read the words on the page but comprehending and putting them together is totally different. I'm still trying to find the "greatness" in the book but maybe it just doesn't appeal to me.
