A Memory Called Empire

This is incredibly boring. Steadfastly refuses to be interesting. F.

Trying to finish American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon by Steven Rinella.

Also, started an audiobook version of Lonesome Dove. It's great so far. I might pick up a hard copy.

I'm about a third of the way through Inherent Vice, but I don't think I can see it through.

i read the novella and title story from Goodbye, Columbus today. has some incredible moments, but there are too few of them. impressive that such a young writer made it, though.

Pastoralia.

my first time reading Saunders.

actually, that's not true. I read a bit of Liberation Day but didn't finish.

The titular story might be a tough point of entry but it is so great.

Winky and The End of FIRPO are two of my favorites of his.

Thankfully the author limits each chapter to like five pages; the development of this industry has thus far been covered in succinct, digestible chapters, each with a historical character serving as a sort of avatar. It’s a great approach.

almost finished with this. I liked Winky and End of FIRPO. I also like Sea Oak.

Sea Oak is a wild trip!

Pastoralia is a great collection, but it’s probably mid-tier Saunders
