You mentioning Blood Meridian and the Great American Novel (I can't NOT capitalize that term for whatever reason) immediately made me think of Moby Dick. No idea if you've ever picked it up but I can't heap enough praise on it. I avoided that book my entire life, assuming a snooze fest awaited me but boy was I wrong.

It feels like every aspect of what it means to be human gets explored at some point. It's also just wild to feel so connected to something that's pushing 200 years old and realizing that for all that's changed since then, people are still the same in so many beautiful and terrifying ways.
