Cn a normal person read these or are they like NSAMs "by you" page?

Norway's post war government prosecuted literary lion Knut Hamsun for collaboration with the Nazis during the occupation. He was in his 90s at the time. while he was under house arrest and subjected to weeks of compulsory psychiatric examination at an oslo mental hospital, he wrote an account of the case and defense of his activities in the war. The account was published under the title, "on overgrown paths." It's an exceptional work by a nonagenarian.

Robert Caro released the latest LBJ volume when he was 77. He'll be 90+ (or dead) when the next volume comes out, and I still expect it to be great.

Depends on the book. His weirdest shit, gravity's rainbow, is readable but in a strange way. Often it's individual episodes that are linked thematically with a shitton of individual character plot lines that often don't intersect.

Actually, I have a vague memory of of one of the opening scenes. Maybe involving a private detective

That's a good book. Slow Learner has some great stories, although Pynchon disowned them.
