26. Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
Book follows a teenager referred to as the kid with the bulk of the text devoted to his experiences with the Glanton gang, a historical group of scalp hunters who massacred Native Americans and others in the United States - Mexico borderlands from 1849 to 1850 for bounty, pleasure, and eventually out of nihilistic habit
I will need to read this a few more times to get the most of it. I found it hard to finish this one not because of the language complexity but the amount of descriptive writing, density, and the lack of a strong plot line the book has (new to me as a newer reader). Listened to a few lectures on the book for supplementation which helped.
27. Patriotism by Yukio Mishima
Short story about the erotics of patriotism and honor, love and suicide
