I read this book while I'm on the toilet taking a shit. Sometimes I take a page out and wipe with it.

ah, blood meridian, monsieur? that novel is the sark and chaparral of literature, the filament whereon rode the remuda of highbrow, corraled out of some destitute hacienda upon the arroya, quirting and splurting with main and with pyrolatrous coagulate of lobated grandiloquence. our eyes rode over the pages, monsieur, of that slatribed azotea like argonauts of suttee, juzgados of swole, bights and systoles of walleyed and tyrolean and carbolic and tectite and scurvid and querent and creosote and scapular malpais and shellalagh. we scalped, monsieur, the gantlet of its esker and led our naked bodies into the rebozos of its mennonite and siliceous fauna, wallowing in the jasper and the carnelian like archimandrites, teamsters, combers of cassinette scoria, centroids of holothurian chancre, with pizzles of enfiladed indigo panic grass in the saltbush of our vigas, true commodores of the written page, rebuses, monsieur, we were the mygale spiders too and the devonian and debouched pulque that settled on the frizzen studebakers, listening the wolves howling in the desert while we saw the judge rise out of a thicket of corbelled arches, whinstone, cairn, cholla, lemurs, femurs, leantos, moonblanched nacre, uncottered fistulas of groaning osnaburg and kelp, isomers of fluepipe and halms awap of griddle, guisado, pelancillo.

Makes me feel good knowing I'm not a plebeian brainlet like you.

Is this really how Blood Meridian is written? Just sounds like someone wrote something and then replaced every word using a thesaurus.

Pretty much, and it's a shame because it detracts from the story/experience. I found myself having to reference a dictionary every other sentence.

I didnt tought it hard to read, and english isnt even my first language.
Its just weird since he almost doesnt use commas, so it feels like you read almost half a page in one breath

does it make you happy to attempt to force me into contemplating you destroying something I love that brought joy to me and so many others?

If so why?
