Good Lord these quotes. What have I been doing in my life that I've never read this man? The imagery in these passages are so vivid, I reflexively started reading aloud after the first one. I gotta find his books now though with his passing, I suspect many will have the same idea.

Go read Blood Meridian. And then struggle to suffer anything else in the world compared against it. It is stunning.

I have read a lot of tgese, and still felt compelled to read them aloud. To my 6 and 7 year old children, no less. I did need to skim them first, though. He's not particularly known as being "safe for work" as they say in the Reddit world.
