I just finished reading “Blood Meridian” by Cormac McCarthy and I was absolutely floored by the breadth, scope and vision of this book.  It is no small wonder that the New York Times recently considered it the third best American novel of the last twenty-five years.  After I finished it, I realized I needed to delve deeper into Cormac McCarthy’s body of work and began “The Road” over the weekend.  Coincidentally, “The Road” has recently been made into a movie which will be released in November.  I hope they don’t screw it up.  More on “Blood Meridian” to follow.
