ITT: Books impossible to make a movie based off it.

As an ESL slavoid poorfag who downloads his books from libgen, I can say I got filtered by the archaisms and verbosity of Blood Meridian. Does this happen in your country?

the kid and judge both live, its the missing girl in the outhouse.

Finished picrel which may be one of the books of all time, which other mcarthy book should I read next?

The sun smiles at you with eternal malice.

I’m getting picrel for Xmas and then flying out on vacation. I’ll probably start it on the plane but I hate the ambient noise in those things, just cold machinery, screaming babies and somebody watching a marvel movie without headphones. Any good albums I could listen to that match the book’s vibe?

Is it true that this book is too violent to be made into a film? What are the most violent things in it?

What was the point of this book?

Was Judge Holden an example of "be yourself and be the best version of yourself?" because that is what I'm taking away from it all.

whoopsies! Wrong file again

I don't fuckin speak spanish

im only half way through but way anyone else frustrated by the fact that he *states* the fact that the judge talks for hours about interesting topics but rarely quotes him extensively?

Those the epitome of generic soulless trash: >>19443359

That Dune Messiah might be my favorite book cover of all time.

I feel like this board discussed this before I was an active poster
>the prose is a chore to read, is the first half better upon rereading?
>this book had a certain status in american lit, which american books do you find it to be inspired by? Ignoring moby dick, even a pleb like me can grasp that
>is the ending open ended? What do you think of it?

Just finished reading it for the first time. It wasn't an easy reading, it's so dense with land description poetic prose, and very little insight into the protagonist's mind, it was very different from what I was expecting, but I would be lying if I said I'm not thinking about it every day and I plan on doing a re-read this year. Can we talk about the ideas in the book, Holden's philosophy and that ending? I know most of it went completely over my head.

So the Judge is the physical embodiment of Darwinian evolution? Survival of the fittest and might makes right? But that alone wouldn't explain all the unnecessary cruel acts, so he's more like the embodiment of Evil? The Devil?

Is this book too based nowadays to be adapted into a movie?

Is this good for someone that doesn't like reading
last thing I read was the Bible I've got bored after the destruction of Sodom and stopped

What are some books for low IQ people?
I can never get into reading its too boring always liked movies more
Give me books for dummies

Just marathoned the first chapter. What did I think of it?

>They is four things that can destroy the earth, he said. Women, whiskey, money, and niggers.

Was he right?

Brainlet here. Just finished Blood Meridian. Great book but I don't really understand the ending.
