Morgan, thanks for this. I love getting recommendations.
I’m reading 2666 by Roberto Bolano, whose book is amazing (like, so good you think ‘why would I bother ever trying to write anything?) and I know it makes every critic’s “best books of the century so far” but it really is good. And since I’m the sort of person that has about six books going at one time I’m also reading Bad Cree by Jessica Johns which I would characterize as Indigenous Horror (and it is spooky) and Travels with Charlie in search of America by John Steinbeck (which has a couple of “oh no, that’s not appropriate anymore”, but is otherwise a really comfortable, relaxing drive around the 1960’s USA with a toweringly great writer. I’m enjoying all of them

I love the "if you're feeling" descriptions!
How's the second novel going???
