Blood meridian

Ironically the book point me at ease. I read it when I was 14 and scared of how violent the world was and how horrible people could be .

I was living in Northern. Ireland during the Troubles and a lot of senseless violence was around, a lot of it I myself witnessed.

The book put me at ease with violence and I saw it as less of a thing to get angry about as it was inevitable and inate.

I know it a MEME here but none of you probably read it in a war zone as a kid.
