Blood Meridian is absolutely incredible. If you love literature it's worth the suffering for sure. The audiobook version is a great experience too, the narrator completely nails it and brings the dense language alive.

definitely worth the suffering haha. My suggestion to anyone who wants to read his material, specifically the Border Trilogy or Blood Meridian, read them on an eBook reader. Something that you can copy/paste the parts that are written in Spanish. I did a re-read of his work a few years ago this way, and it made his already difficult reading experience much easier being able to Google search the non-English portions
