  • Start with Sutree. It’s laugh out loud funny in places, and doesn’t have any of the existencial dread of The Road or exquisite horror of Blood Meridian.

    The Border Trilogy next, then No Country.

    I’ve read Blood Meridian 3 times - waiting to get my book club hooked for the 4th. It’s… Amazing.

    I don’t think I’ll read The Road again.


  • If I read it right: the government is paying for commercial (phone) location data. There are 3 issues:

    • creepy: the government shouldn’t have this
    • costly: they are buying it with our tax dollars
    • comprehensive (?): They are getting everything (money can buy)?

    If the government were to require this (like via a search warrant) rather than pay for it it would go through a mountain of legal oversight. It seems like the interpretation is: commercially available = publically available.

    I guess what I would want to know next is: who gets access to this?
