I guess Blood Meridian. I haven‘t read it since I was 20 a decade ago but most of what I‘ve read since doesn‘t fall into the category of novel (ancient epics and mythological analysis mainly.) Gravity‘s Rainbow is a fierce comeupper but I‘ve been chipping away at that for years.

Violence as a general life metaphor appealed to me at the time, especially with it being as cosmic in scope and having an exploration/outdoor aesthetic. I give the time disclaimer because it‘s become a bit vague and I don‘t know whether that‘s aged with me.

Why? Were you an aspiring school shooter back then? Or were you trying to justify killing someone?

NTA If you don't know why the book appeals to young men you're probably a soulless anarchofem too used to getting passed around by druggie twinks who's lost the ability to comprehend any nature deeper than determining whether something is or is not a "threat"
