Not your typical tough kid grows up story. I found this an engaging read with unexpected character evolution. Again, NYRB publishing really has some great titles I never knew about until I browsed their collection. 🤓 #BookSky 💙📚 #JustFinishedReading #NYRB #DonCarpenter #HardRainFalling

Just a massive and amazingly researched work from 1987. This is the sort of read that opens me back to non-fiction. Solid work! #BookSky 💙📚 #JustFinishedReading #JayStevens #StormingHeaven

As a Deadhead, this drew me near and I made an impulse buy. Not sure if that was the intended marketing or not. It could be taken either way I suppose? Pretty tasty.

Augustus is an epistolic approach to historical fiction about Rome in the time of Cesar Augustus. Novel is a mosaic of his life and those around him. The story of his daughter Julia is particularly fascinating. Loved it. #BookSky 💙📚 #JustFinishedReading #NYRB #JohnWilliams #Augustus

Finished the Lonesome Dove series. I must mention that out of the 4 books, my favorite character became Famous Shoes. McMurtry created so much with this series. Loved it! 🤓 #BookSky 💙📚 #JustFinishedReading #LarryMcMurtry #StreetsOfLaredo

Three novellas that fit together like a very small jigsaw puzzle set in post WWI London about unrequited love, the perils of drinking, and the tragedies and joys of the working class. Interesting and atmospheric. #BookSky 💙📚 #JustFinishedReading #PatrickHamilton #TwentyThousandStreetsUnderTheSky

McMurtry crafted a masterpiece with this utterly immersive epic. The characters are richly developed within a beautifully illustrated world. Just don’t get too attached to any of them. Amazing adventure throughout! 🤓 #BookSky 💙📚 #JustFinishedReading #LarryMcMurtry #LonesomeDove

Just finished Octavia Butler’s magical realism and historical fiction Kindred. A time travel story that shows the reality of a black person finding themselves in the early 1800s south. At times brutal and always eye opening. Recommended. #BookSky 💙📚 #JustFinishedReading #OctaviaButler #Kindred

John Williams only published 3 major works in his career. This is the second I’ve read (Stoner the other). Both fantastic. Augustus, his third, is now on order. Just amazing stuff. #BookSky 💙📚 #JustFinishedReading #NYRB #JohnWilliams #ButchersCrossing

A good Saturday read. Hunter was a pretty decent writer for such a young age! Great read for a Deadhead, and for anyone wanting a glimpse into the beatnik / hippie cutover era. Of course loved it. 🤓 #BookSky 💙📚 #MusicSky #GratefulDead #JustFinishedReading #RobertHunter #SilverSnarlingTrumpet

I really looked forward to this. At times I found myself thinking that the surreal story lines were too disjointed and didn’t follow. There were a lot of “wait, what?” moments in my mind. However, I’m still a fan. 🤓 #BookSky 💙📚 #JustFinishedReading #HarukiMurakami #TheCityAndItsUncertainWalls

Never having read this, but having watched Apocalypse Now many times in my life, I was fascinated with reading this. Gives new perspectives to “the horror, the horror” and other Kurtz dialog. #BookSky 💙📚 #JustFinishedReading #JosephConrad #TheHeartOfDarkness

Murakami is a genius. Title sounds like two stories, but a single one with each “part” alternating in odd and even numbered chapters. One side reality, the other not? Hard Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World. Stunned! #BookSky 💙📚 #JustFinishedReading #HarukiMurakami

So much to unpack for such a short novel! I should have read this years ago, but I was busy with <something>. Every team needs a Slim, that calm voice that listens and has empathy, regardless of their relative success. Loved it. 🤓 #Books #BookSky 💙📚 #JustFinishedReading #JohnSteinbeck #OfMiceAndMen
