I’ve finished Books by Larry McMurtry. It was sort of a silly little book, but entertaining. It read more like a journal or an interview. A recounting of days past. Gossip. And as I mentioned before, some parallels with my own past; especially when he writes of his extreme dislike for the Readers Digest Condensed books. Amen! And his early love for encyclopedias. Another Amen!
Some facts from the book. He uses a typewriter. (Why?) And there are close to 400,000 books contained within 6 different building in his bookstore, Booked Up, in Archer City, Texas.
