"The Zoomer ran into the Millennial outside the male bathroom. -I wouldn't go in there if I was you. -Is there somebody in there? -I wouldn't go in. The Millennial offered no further counsel and moved on. With his no show socks, UNIQLO chinos, and OCBD dress shirt he seemed a ghost drifted here throu"
"We all got up and moved out of the way, when out of nowhere the autistic kid (I'm not being mean, he was actually autistic) crushed it with his light-up sketchers and said 'Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent.' Then he walked away. Having just finished Blood Me"
"It was holding a book and I ripped it out of its hands and it wasn't BLOOD MERIDIAN 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮"
"(Blood Meridian doesn't count as a hot take, even Harold Bloom loves it.)"
"The other remaining 27% is discussion on whether or not there will be a Blood Meridian movie."
"go to a cafe on a rainy day order a cappicino [it HAS to be regular milk sorry] and read blood meridian. this worked a little too well for me today i actually had to leave bc I felt like i was getting hunted."
"The frame of a man I can only describe as being near identical to Judge Holden steps down from the truck, large deposits of fat at the midsection and the back of the neck."
"Elsewhere I've seen people say that don't like Blood Meridian because the characters do bad things, or the classic 'Holden Caulfield is a whiny loser!'"
"like it's not an impossible book but ppl don't even read anymore. and now I get all these joker versions of the Judge on my home page."

"Ever since Blood meridian was featured in that w*ndigoon video, 90% of the reddit threads about it are "the most evil darkest character in all of literature" or "who would win in an evil fight, judge holden or dark Vader?""
"It's gonna be John Hillcoat. Tbh don't think he's got the skills to properly pull it off, should've been Lynne Ramsay. Who's your pick for who portrays the judge? I reckon Tom Noonan could give it a go. Or fuck it, Jack Black"
"Fuck me what a line. Fuck Bateman, if there exists a character you shouldn't want to emulate but can't help but want to, its the judge."
"I used to think rs dudes were the cool art guy in a shitty band who was also 'online…' but it's clear that the dominating rs male caricature is a dude that gets zero pussy, into blood meridian, hates 'wammin,' resentful of mainstream everything, views are adjacent to blackpill/redpill ideology, gay "

"I have fucking schmoop notes pulled up to check after ever chapter like a lazy high schooler. I am trying to read it like The Bible or other prose/poetry but without the line breaks and differentiations, it's hard."
"Ngl it's a bit of hard read. I don't mean that because it's slow paced or because of the subject matter, I mean because mccarthy's writing style is so different... on top of that, there's no quotation marks, so I have a hard time figuring what's dialogue and what isn't. Also there's no apostrophes f"
"Was excited to read this for the sub's bookclub. I'd read the first couple chapters several times before and found them really enjoyable, but everything after that is so murky to me and I only half know what's happening. Not to mention I'm stopping every other sentence to google words I've literally"
