Blood Meridian

Not him but are you assholes only saying that because nobody else read it so we can't challenge your opinions?

>you now remember The Counselor
You can challenge them. I like to discuss books.

You wouldn’t be able to get away with making this movie.

I genuinely don't want any sort adaptation. But I'm always up for casting threads.

It wont take you 6-8 months, just have google at hand for all the archaic language but it's a pretty interesting book. as someone whos not even super literate it grabs your attention

Do you not see all the threads about Dune right now?

This and sometimes a great notion are my favorite novels.

>nobody else read it so we can't challenge your opinions
That has never stopped anyone especially on Yas Forums.

The book is like 200 pages just read it you asshat.

I bought it a week ago on prime for the quarantine, but I got filtered by the flowery language at the beginning. I'll come back to it now that I saw this thread

I’m a brainlet and has trouble with it at times but you can still get the point fairly easily. Very much worth reading imo.

>Wow, what an obscure book, I'm sure no one has read it!
Fuck off faggot, this book has been popular on Yas Forums for years and no one has gotten the casting quite right in all the years it has been popular.

>200 pages

>Cormac McCarthy book
>obscure
Holy shit you need to fucking read more.

>number of pages 337
It honestly felt like a 200 page book to me, it was that fun to read.

>currently reading gravity's rainbow
>think the plot is very interesting
>constantly walled by the way pynchon writes sentences
it's taking me way more than usual

I found it a little slow going for the first 200 pages even though I was enjoying it, but the rest just flies on by as the pace picks up.

Tye Sheridan for the kid has got to be the worst idea possible

/Lit/ talks about this shit all the time, sounds wacky. Is it actually worth reading. Or is it just the pseuds enjoying it because it makes them feel smart?

here ill pick out the first good part
>The first of he herd began to swing past them in a pall of yellow dust, rangy slatribbed cattle with horns that grew agoggle and no two alike and small thin mules coalblack that shouldered one another and reared their malletshaped heads above the backs of the others and then more cattle and finally the first of the herders riding up the outer side and keeping the stock beween themselves and the mounted company. Behind them came a herd of seeral hundred ponies. The sergeant looked for candelario. He kept backing along the ranks but he could not find him. He nudged his horse through the column and moved up the far side. The lattermost of the were now coming through the dust and the captain was gesturing and shouting. The ponies had begun to veer off from the herd and the drovers were beating their way toward the armed company met with on the plain. 1/3

So here’s the thing with literature
AfteR like Shakespeare or some shit, most plots had been done. There are no original plots. None. So, the only thing that writers could do is fuck around snd experiment with language.
Kind of how after the 40s every movie plot and narrative had been done before, and the only thing filmmakers could do after that is experiment with plot and cinematography and shit like that. So when you are here saying “I can’t understand XYZ novel because it’s written weird or because the plot is out of order” (i.e a common criticism I see with Blood Meridian or The Sound and the Fury) you are basically saying “ I can’t understand Blade Runner 2049 or Pulp Fiction so I cant even finish it”

If you are not inclined to reading it’s okay, but it does make you the ultimate pleb. Like imagine how much of a pleb you are for thinking Tarantino is the GOAT, now imagine how much of a brainlet you must be for not liking Tarantino simply because you can’t understand his plot.
