I've been earmarking 15 minutes per class period for some SSR time so I've been working through this.
It works well with the time I have.

the road, no country, pretty ponies, etc, etc, etc...
dude was amazing
probably my favorite novelist What a character.
definitely my favorite writer. read The Passenger this winter and it was superb.
Having a son, The Road rocked my world. I would walk by the book between readings and get the chills.
McCarthy was very good but after four or five books I found him to be a bit of a one-trick pony, and very good at that thing.
Been reading mostly perfume related non-fiction and recently have read:
The Secret of Scent by Luca Turin. It's OK, he's an interesting dude but not a great writer. It's about how we smell, his new and unverified theory of it, and some chemistry related to perfume.
Perfume: The Alchemy of Scent by Jean-Claude Ellena. Small, good book by one of the most highly respected perfumers. Basically outlines how he works, and with which chemicals. I'm sure he's keeping some secrets.
The Perfect Scent by Chandler Burr. Really good book. Follows Jean-Claude Ellena (see above) and Sarah Jessica Parker through their very different worlds of perfumery. He takes a job as in house perfumer at Hermes, she works with a marketing company to develop her first perfume. Fascinating world.
In the middle of my first fiction in a while: Chandler Burr's You or Someone Like You. Very "LA" circa mid-2000s. Enjoying it so far.
Also in the middle of Smellosophy: What the Nose Tells the Mind by A.S. Barwich. It's OK so far. Feels like a PhD dissertation expanded upon.

Yeah I read that about 3 months after my oldest boy was born and it definitely left a mark.
I'm circling back to the second half of Color of Law and inching through Crying in H Mart because it was on the top of the stack of books at the work library next to my desk.

What a huge bummer. Easily one of my favorite authors of all time. So many incredible books but to me Blood Meridian and the Border Trilogy are unmatched.
I'm finally reading The Sex Lives of Cannibals. Pretty entertaining and funny so far and for anyone who has spent time or visitied any of the more remote islands in the Pacific, much of it rings true.
