"Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen. The Boss tells his story. Pretty good.
"All the Pretty Horses" by Cormac McCarthy. Love it. First McCarthy for me since Blood Meridian a few years ago. This is much less violent. A great story, well told.

A book came up on the Audible Daily Deal for 3 bucks that was intriguing, so I bought it and listened to it. It was intriguing because it is based in SLC, and written by a UofU Law School graduate. It’s called The Neon Lawyer, by Victor Methos. I guess he stil has a practice in SLC and Vegas.
It’s a short read, and reminded me a lot of a less wordy Grisham novel. A Time To Kill in particular, without the racial element. Might be a good beach read if you are interested, and the local references are fun.

Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson is about Stevenson’s experiences as a death row lawyer in Alabama starting in the 90’s and continuing today. In addition to writing about individuals, he weaves in a lot of information that highlights the racial issues in the criminal justice system. I was pointed to this book by Jazz player Ekpe Udoh, who has a book club.
