BOTM #25: Revisiting Blood Meridian – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

In today's cold open, we discuss what reading level the average adult should be at. Studies have shown that the average currently sits between a 5th-grade and 7th-grade reading level, but we feel that's way too low. We also recommend some books that we feel adults should be able to read and comprehend without any issues. After that, we challenge our reading levels by revisiting one of the few Books of the Month we did not finish. Though this time things turn out quite different!
