[bnicholas26]

just read this book for the 8th time and still feel as if i haven't finished it

[chuckmastazero]

i love hearing it with jon gaunt playing fiddle on it...

[MrBirdlady92]

No offense but Ben kinda sounds like Slingblade when he talks. I half expected him to ask for some french fried potaters.

@MrBirdlady92 win.

@MrBirdlady92 I think he kinda sounds like Beetle Juice.

This entire album is one of my favorites. It is a perfect soundtrack to McCarthy's masterpiece, Blood Meridian. One of the most violent, yet beautiful books I have ever read.

@Tribaldragon73 I second you man !! Im re readin it as we speak but I just took a lil break lol ... Im reading it in spanish now

[callahan9119]

I avoided reading it based on it's reputation for unequaled violence and the awful power of the judge, whom I read Harold Blood describe having nightmares about. I read alot of his other stuff and after I stumbled upon this album I got fascinated and decided to read it.

It is indeed one of the greatest works of an American author. I was astonished how the prose almost tempered the violence into something palatable and not terribly obscene because it is wrapped in such beautiful writing.

[conxtantine]

yeah I know what u mean !! I have this friend who was like '' Read the book .. it takes place in sum areas of Mexico near your town '' and yes !! Mier !! I love the prose as well, the way Cormac describes something violent or even sick and still getttin your eyes on the book even though it makes you wanna stop a little bit cuz its violent content. Im almost finishin re reading it :)

[Ineedwords1121]
