Blood Meridian is really powerful, it is hard for me to reread sometimes with the violence, but line for line I think McCarthy is probably the best American writer for prose.
I have never heard of How High We Go but I am going to reserve it on Libby.
Did you read the Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet? Very similar feeling, I had to read it slow because the feelings it gave me were so enticing and rich.

Isn't it wild how that happens? It's like magic.

LOVE this book!!!!! I think about it all the time. It deserves to be a modern classic I am so surprised more people have not read it. It is fantastic, and deeply moving.

Yes omg I love your comment!! Same situation, reading it at different ages has made me feel differently and more sympathetic. It's like such a beautiful portrait of human life and all its misgivings.
