Finished All the Pretty Horses. Such a haunting and beautiful book. Trying to read more McCarthy's work, so No Country for Old Men is next. Maybe the Crossing afterward.

My Lunches with Orson: Orson Welles and his friend meet for lunch and their conversations are transcribed. This was months from Orson’s passing and he is hilarious while shit talking everyone in Hollywood. Great stories from old Hollywood. Orson, while being an extremely intelligent individual, does not give one single fuck at this point in his life.

The latter was pretty kooky. Neuromancer has been on my reading list for quite some time as well.

Some essays by John Berger (“The Sense of Sight”) Hell yeah, this is backed. Ways of Seeing was very influential to me as a youth. I’d highly recommend A Seventh Man if you haven’t read it already and are interested in the lives of migrant workers in Europe. Just got it from the library, thanks for the tip!

Gonna start Light Years by Richard Salter tomorrow, lesgo I just finished a 1993 issue of the Paris Review that has an excerpt from his memoir. The guy was one of the top fighter pilots for the US and wen't from doing missions with guys who became astronauts and sleeping with women around the world to writing mid-20th century literature. Great prose in that piece. There's a copy of Light Years at my folks that I should grab.

I think his book The Hunters may be a fictionalised o-count of his fighter pilot days, my friend said it was incredible, his favourite book in fact.

Finished No Country for Old Men. What a great fucking book. Kind of feels like a spiritual companion to Blood Meridian.

Saw this posted a while back and was always intrigued. I love a good travelogue, and this is scratching that itch. I can't believe Turkmenistan is a real place.
