I reread Blood Meridian recently. He's such a good writer

Darn, I want to start that one, however Lolita is the next on my List after finishing Hamlet.
Frick it, I think I’ll read both of them at once even if it takes me over a month, they are so different the characters wont mix up.

I wouldn't read another book alongside it just because it's worth devoting all your attention to one. But read Lolita next if it's also on your list (and Pale Fire, if you haven't read it)

I already read Pale Fire, such a fun book because it doesn’t take long to realize the narrator is a schizo. Hmm, I guess you’re right, I’ll go with Lolita and then Blood Meridian to give each one the attention they deserve.

When you get to Lolita make sure you read the annotated version. There is so so much going on in that book and so many references you'll miss like half of them unless you have annotations pointing them out to you.
