I don't wish to be too dismissive, but I listened to the audiobook for Blood Meridian and found it to be noticeably boring. There were some neat phrases here and there, the descriptions were fun, but felt pretty ripped off of both time and money.
It's frustrating because I generally like writing in a similar manner to how he wrote, but I found it incredibly dull to listen to for any length of time. It was just this meandering mess of "here and there" without anything to pay attention to, or have a need to care for. It wasn't that I hated it, I just didn't like it either. I was entirely indifferent to it, other than a vague sense of politely waiting for it to end. I didn't feel I lost much by listening to it, but had nothing to gain either. It was just a distraction of other things I could have been listening to instead.
