Blood Meridian

[Will Layman]

I have never head BM because I thought ALL THE PRETTY HORSES was one of the
most overrated and overwrought books I'd ever read.  I thought that book was
somewhat ridiculous ode to the homoerotic power of horses/men out on the
open plain.  I couldn't relate to it at all.  And the total lack of humor
kind of got to me too.

Would I like BM more than ATPH?
