I just finished a new book by two authors: Stephen Co***, a Vietnam War vet and Barrett Ti***, a military aviation historian, about a bridge in North Vietnam called the Thanh Hoa (Dragon's Jaw). It hasn't been out yet but I read it in preparation for an interview with them for a history site. I'm blurring their names so I don't get in trouble with anyone lol. I thought it was good, they did original interviews with a bunch of different pilots and took the reader through a play-by-play of every nosedive, bomb drop, antiaircraft fire, ejection, and even the pilot's thoughts as it was happening. I don't read this type of stuff often. It was educational about the Vietnam War. An easy read overall, even though a good 30% or more of the book was talking about technical aspects of bombs, naval flying, planes, and other logistics. It was well researched.

I'm almost done with The Optimist's Daughter by Eudora Welty. She was clearly a very talented writer (the book won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction), there's a lot of texture and meaning on every page; written with care. It's about a bit of a bland subject -- a tragic loss, some fallout afterwards, family visits and emotions. I'm not sure where the end is headed so I guess that's a positive thing, it could be an unexpected twist to bring it together.

I recently read "Tales from the Toolbox", which is a compilation of stories from old Grand Prix mechanics about the early days of road racing. Shit was kinda wild, because in Europe it was way more practical to haul everything by truck. So you have legit 1930s salvage title trucks that were meant to be people haulers done up to hold several cars, hundreds of spare parts, tools etc


however, it wasn't that good. Would've been way better as an audiobook or a series of interviews or something

I'll Be Gone In The Dark by Michelle McNamara.

A mesmerizing true crime book about one woman's obsessive search for the Golden State Killer. This book was released a couple months before Joseph DeAngelo was arrested. Unfortunately, Michelle (Patton Oswalt's wife at the time) died while writing the book and never saw him get caught. HBO has the rights to this story and are making a documentary about it. Probably the 'In Cold Blood' of this generation. Amazing. And going into it now knowing who the killer is adds a whole new dimension to everything... and let's you appreciate just how close Michelle was to identifying this guy before she died in 2016.

Highly recommended to true crime fans out there.

1. Women by Bukowski (5/5)

Quote:
“Why don’t you have Thanksgiving with me? I’ll get the turkey. I’ll have 2 or 3 friends over.”
“All right, it sounds good.”
Debra leaned forward and snapped the set off. She looked very happy. Then the light went off. She went to the bathroom and came out with something flimsy wrapped around her. Then she was in bed next to me. We pressed together. My cock rose. Her tongue flicked in and out of my mouth. She had a large tongue and it was warm. I went on down. I spread the hair and worked my tongue. Then I gave her a bit of a nose job. She was responding. I climbed back up, mounted her and stuck it in.
… I worked and I worked. I tried to think of Tessie in her short red skirt. It didn’t help. I had given it all to Tessie. I pumped on and on.
“Sorry, baby, too much to drink. Ah, feel my heart!”
She put her hand on my chest. “It’s really going,” she said.
“Am I still invited for Thanksgiving?”
“Sure, my poor dear, don’t worry, please.”
I kissed her goodnight, then rolled away and tried to sleep.”

Excerpt From: Charles Bukowski. “Women.” Apple Books.
