I'm reading "Books: A Memoir" by Larry McMurtry, which I picked up as a remainder at B&N, and I have to say it's not very good. Isn't this guy supposed to be a great writer? Each chapter is max three pages long and he's jumping around so much it's making my head spin. It does make me want to go to his bookstore though.
I haven't read the Larry McMurtry memoir because I think I read somewhere it wasn't very good. Have you read Lonesome Dove, though? It is up there in my top one or two all-time favorite books, and I re-read it every couple of years. McMurtry was at his peak and in his perfect genre when he wrote that, in my opinion. Highly recommended.
