You could read that in two afternoons and a brunch with an audiobook.

I usually listen to them at about 1.5X-2X speed.

About to start one of these two but can't decide which to do first:

Just Money was very informative and inspiring vis-a-vis some stuff I’m involved in here, but not exactly a page turner.

About 100 pages into Fulfillment and it’s fantastic.

these aren't new. per se. they are unearthed interviews from the early part of his career.

With all the CMc talk and the new book coming soon, I am going to give the Border Trilogy another try. Thought it was all new to me, but Goodreads tells me I read All the Pretty Horses in 2011.

That’s awesome. I want to read it but my list is really big. Maybe in another six months or so.

Y'all have any thoughts on Richard Hugo? I know nothing about him but his book The Triggering Town (lectures and essays on poetry and writing) is just sitting here in the office. Worth a read?

Not as good as his brother Victor

I read excerpts from that in college and had downloaded it last year in the hopes of giving it a full read.

the excerpt in the times from mccarthy’s new novel is hilariously bad

It's better to burn out than to fade away.
