Is there supposed to be a link for the Science Friday thing? I'll share my thoughts on Blood Meridian soon. Bad news is that I just started it yesterday. The good news is that I was trapped for a long stretch with nothing to do but read, so I killed 100 pages.

It starts slow (slow as in not all that compelling, not slow as in slow-paced) and it's hard to get a grip on what is happening, as the scenes flash by in a quick and matter-of-fact way. About 80-100 pages in it gets good. Chillingly good. I can't really put it down at this point, even though the descriptions of depraved violence (even toward children) get quite detailed at some points. I'm hooked.
