My current outside reading book is Texasville by Larry McMurtury. Texasville so far doesn't really have a story line to it, it's just following the main character Duane and his family around. Duane is a man in Thalia, Texas who owns an oil company post-boom, when the oil prices are at an all time low. He is going bankrupt, and can only hope for prices to go back up.
This is one of the most funny and relatable books for me, because first it takes place in Texas, and its takes place during the down fall of oil prices. My family has a ranch in South Texas, during the boom all the towns had retail stores and motels opening daily. Now since the prices have gone down, business has kind of left.
