In their defense, they did get the permission of the Washington Better Business Bureau and the Organization of American States to just list the nearest large city to the venue rather than listing a small town no one outside the area would know, or the wordy "37.5 miles from downtown Seattle!"

Understandable.  I've never been able to stay awake past the first six hours of that long, boring snoozefest. Did I say six hours? I meant thirty minutes.  It just felt like six hours.

Yeah, it is extremely rare that I fail to finish a book, but Blood Meridian was one that I just lost interest in and stopped 3/4 through.  A little context, I had The Road recommended by quite a few people so I read it and was pretty underwhelmed.  My friends' reaction was that, oh, you should read Blood Meridian then…

It does pick up after that, and really, you don't have to re-read all the books.  Sure, you may have forgotten some characters or context but anything important gets rehashed.  If it were me and I had any interest finishing the series, I'd just pick up book 10 and go from there.
