Books: A Memoir Larry McMurtry

Rather frustratingly for his bibliophile readers, he doesn't go into much detail about what that library contains, save a smallish collection of 20th-century pulpsWith remarkable clarity, he gives his readers a glimpse into the world of a bookman-its eccentric characters (one dealer would allow him to look at his books only through binoculars), its thrills (landing a copy of The Great Gatsby for $12 and years later learning that a similar copy sold for $168,000), and its disappointments (finding a perfect copy of a Nathanael West novel only to realize that the back cover had been gnawed away by rats)but then noticing an old box of books behind the counter (or perhaps a book covered in dust under the dog's bed--the more remote the better)George EliotAnd, to some extent, this was provided but it was too personalAt once chatty, revealing, and deeply satisfying, Books is Larry McMurtry at his bestOnly occasionally does McMurtry make his occupation sound appealing enough to pursue (or even listen to someone talk about), but the 1-2 page chapters are like candy, allowing his frequently unfocused ramblings to be easily digestedGetting the books I wanted to read was the main reason for the pursuitJul 13, 2008 Jacki Leach rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Book lovers and book sellers Recommended to Jacki by: I found it on my own! I love Larry McMurtry's stories (especially the westerns), but it's always nice to learn about what makes the author 'tick'He tired of reading fiction some time in the early 80s and doesn't read it anymore[See Prepub Alert, LJ3/15/08.]Anthony Pucci Library Journal Having written about other aspects of his life, novelist and screenwriter McMurtry (When the Light Goes, 2007, etc.) finally gets around to his bibliomaniaCertainly you don't read that tome but let it appreciate before selling it again.The most telling chapters in this slim volume are the ruminations on the dying book trade in this countryThere's too much to write, or even just to read 81186be442
