Sam Irwin is on page 301 of 352 of The City
This book is shitty. 300 pages in and barely any plot movement. The only reason I'm still in it is it's easy to skim over the stuff that Elmore Leonard says can be skimmed over. Leonard famously said he leaves out the stuff that can be skimmed over.

Sam Irwin is 46% done with Trumpet around the Corner: The Story of New Orleans Jazz (American Made Music Series)
Rather academic. Interesting to consider the discrepancies of fact and fiction in this book compared to Louis Armstrong by Laurence Bergreen.

Sam Irwin is reading The Sisters Brothers
I just finished The Sisters Brothers. A very interesting read. An anti-hero western pioneer story, I will think on it for some time.

Sam Irwin is reading The Cat's Table
I just finished The Cat's Table (Vintage International). I enjoyed it, not for everyone. A ship's voyage from Ceylon to London and all the stories that go with it.
