NEXT BOOK: Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy

Hello!  Our review of Naked by David Sedaris was really great!  Thanks to everyone who was able to make it!  Our next book will be Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.  Here is a quick synopsis:


 Cormac McCarthy's masterwork, Blood Meridian, chronicles the brutal world of the Texas-Mexico borderlands in the mid-nineteenth century. Its wounded hero, the teenage Kid, must confront the extraordinary violence of the Glanton gang, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians and sell those scalps. Loosely based on fact, the novel represents a genius vision of the historical West, one so fiercely realized that since its initial publication in 1985 the canon of American literature has welcomed Blood Meridian to its shelf.

Our next meeting will be on Sunday, December 5th at 6pm at Kyles!  Discussion questions and details for the next meeting will be posted shortly!

In the meantime, happy reading!

-Nicole
