Just finished Larry McMurtry's Telegraph Days which wasn't one of his better efforts, IMO, but was still pretty entertaining.
I'm about half way through The Only Game in Town which is an oral biography of some major league baseball players including Dom Dimaggio, Tommy Henrich and Bob Feller. It was compiled by former commisioner Fay Vincent and is similar in approach to the excellent The Glory of Their Times except that the subjects are from the 30's and 40's. Really interesting stuff to a baseball history junkie.vl
