Will I Decipher Blood Meridian?

How long have I been reading this book? I don't know anymore. A month? Two months? I picked it up on recommendation from a friend, saw the length and subject matter, and figured I'd read it in a weekend. Oh no. I'm only 2/3 of the way through and almost feel like I need to start over. My mind wanders reading some sections as they are difficult. Other parts my eyes tear up. I don't know what to make of it. I don't think I understand it. I don't use a dictionary while reading, although I probably should. I enjoy reading stuff about Blood Meridian. I wonder when I'll finish this book.
