I just finished Suttree by Cormack McCarthy. It was good, certainly not as constantly dark as Blood Meridian.
 
Working my way through the 32 surviving Greek tragedies, very entertaining and a pleasure to read

Buddy, be prepared for a gut punch. Author’s interview on Meateater was very good, too.
It ended up being one of the best books I've ever read. The author did an incredible job personalizing for the reader the crewmen who were lost and the surviving family members with a lot of details and the photographs he included. Being caught in the worst part of that storm at the worst possible time is a terrible fate.
 
All day flights today.

Back into Dan Flores’ American Serengheti

Refreshing that he is willing to examine all the factors involved in the demise of the bison.

After a whole chapter devoted to the adaptability of the feral horse, I was surprised to see him name them as a not small factor in the crash of the bison.

He still credits market hunting, but not in the ways that you would think.

I do not alway agree with Dan Flores, but I appreciate his deep education and willingness to look at things from all angles.
