I just finished 'Player of Games' - Ian M. Banks. I liked it, it felt immersive.

Just started The Passenger by the late great Cormac McCarthy. I'm about a 3rd through, listening on audio book via Libby (read at 85% speed). It's a little hard not to put it in the context of No Country and the border trilogy - Mr. M does seem to have a type. I'm pleased that many of McCarthy's liberties with words seem to come through on audio, but I imagine I'm missing a lot. All in all I'm enjoying it. Next up my book club is reading All The Pretty Horses, so I'm in for the ride as it were. (Weirdly, there was a longer wait for his other work than The Passenger. I guess people are in the wait and see mode).

A friend recommended Midlife by Kieran Setiya. I have to say - it's quite dense, and I feel like I'm not doing it justice. I'll definitely keep going.
