I Am The One True Scholar of Cool Cobbler
The left side is the Blood Meridian Saga in what I think is a good order to read (untitled blue book is Moby Dick). I read Blood Meridian just before the video came out and decided to do the work to properly appreciate it. I did skip 1491 and Paradise Lost and jumped straight into Don Quixote. The right hand side is miscellaneous books mentioned by Cool Cobbler not necessarily related to (re)reading Blood Meridian. Debt is referenced in the Blood Meridian video and I figured I’d show off The Dawn of Everything while I’m at it.
If enough people give me hecking chungus updoots I’ll do a whole bookshelf reveal so you can laugh at my pseudo-intellectualism and wasted money.
Edit: I haven’t read most of this. I’ve only read the LOTR Trilogy, The Fire Next Time, Slaughterhouse Five (albeit a decade ago so I may as well have mot read it in my memory), and Blood Meridian.
Also The Moors Account is not on the Cool Cobbler Book Club reading list but it is historical fiction from the perspective of Estebanico of the Narvaez Expedition/Cabeza de Vaca account and I wanted to check out how faithful it is.
