Read a few Matt Haig books in recent weeks:-

Midnight Library
The Radleys
How to stop Time

Enjoyed them all, and will read some more. Think “How to stop Time” (about the troubles that would be caused if some people lived for centuries) was particularly good, up there with John Wyndham’s “Trouble with Lichen” and Aldous Huxley’s “After many a Summer” as favourite books on same theme.

Moving between two physical books - Heavier Than Heaven, a biography of Kurt Cobain by Charles Cross and Ali, A Life, by Jonathan Eig - and one on my phone: Wild, a memoir of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed. I read Heavier Than Heaven when it came out in 2001 or so. It's not as depressing this go round.

Haha made me google it. But not the same person

I started Outer Dark, by Cormac McCarthy, bought in my recent travel to the U.S, in Citylights bookstore in San Francisco, the same place I bought Screenplay

In all my years of living in the U.S. (all of them), I have never made it out to San Francisco / California.

Farthest west I've ever been was to Texas (Austin and San Antonio). I've tended to stay more towards the east (lived in the metro-New York City area).
