This list always feels like a great place to start when looking for a new book - which I plan to do once I’m finished reading The Last Picture Show (1966) by Larry McMurtry - on loan from good friend Dan Sjogren. This novel is an unfiltered window into a depleted post WW2 small town America through the eyes of its naive teens, it has exceptional dialogue and pacing.

Also, look forward to watching the film once I’m done with the book.

Just heard of a great idea for a book club at BookGive. The club picks a theme each month and each person can choose a book from any genre that ties to that month’s theme - discussions ensue.
