| In his memoir, McMurtry said that during his first five or six years in his grandfather's ranch house, there were no books, but his extended family would sit on the front porch every night and tell stories. In 1942, McMurtry's cousin Robert Hilburn stopped by the ranch house on his way to enlist for World War II, and left a box containing 19 boys' adventure books from the 1930s. The first book he read was ''Sergeant Silk: The Prairie Scout''.<ref>{{cite book |last=McMurtry |first=Larry |date=2008 |title=Books: A Memoir |pages=1–8}}</ref>

The adventure in the day-glo-painted school bus ''[[Further (bus)|Furthur]]'' was chronicled by [[Tom Wolfe]] in his book ''[[The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test]]''.

| McMurtry described his method for writing novels in ''Books: A Memoir''. He said that from his first novel on, he would get up early and dash off five pages of narrative. When he published the memoir in 2008, he said this was still his method, although by then, he wrote 10 pages a day. He also wrote every day, ignoring holidays and weekends.<ref>{{cite book|last1=McMurtry|first1=Larry|title=Books : a memoir|date=2008|publisher=Simon & Schuster|location=New York|isbn=9781416583349|page=[https://archive.org/details/booksmemoir00mcmu/page/49 49]|edition=1st Simon & Schuster hardcover|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/booksmemoir00mcmu/page/49}}</ref> McMurtry was a regular contributor to ''[[The New York Review of Books]]''.<ref name="NYRB_McMurtry">{{Cite web |title=Larry McMurtry |work=[[The New York Review of Books]] |access-date=March 27, 2021 |url= https://www.nybooks.com/contributors/larry-mcmurtry/ }}</ref>

He denounced the relevant rules as "an affront to all who cherish the constitutional guarantees of freedom of expression and association. To a writer whose living depends upon the uninhibited interchange of ideas and experiences, these provisions are especially appalling." Subsequently, some provisions that excluded certain classes of immigrants based on their political beliefs were revoked by the [[Immigration Act of 1990]].<ref name="PEN_America_2021-03-26">{{Cite web |title=PEN America Mourns Death of Novelist, Former PEN America President Larry McMurtry |work=PEN America |date=March 26, 2021 |access-date=March 27, 2021 |url=https://pen.org/press-release/pen-america-mourns-death-of-novelist-former-pen-america-president-larry-mcmurtry/ }}</ref>

In 1969, he moved to the Washington, D.C., area. In 1970 with two partners, he started a bookshop in [[Georgetown (Washington, D.C.)|Georgetown]], which he named Booked Up. In 1988, he opened another Booked Up in Archer City. It became one of the largest antiquarian bookstores in the United States, carrying between 400,000 and 450,000 titles. Citing economic pressures from Internet bookselling, McMurtry came close to shutting down the Archer City store in 2005, but chose to keep it open after great public support.

| | '''''The Female Eunuch''''' is a 1970 book by [[Germaine Greer]] that became an international [[bestseller]] and an important text in the [[feminist]] movement. Greer's thesis is that the "traditional" [[suburb]]an, [[consumerism|consumerist]], [[nuclear family]] represses women sexually, and that this devitalises them, rendering them [[eunuch]]s. The book was published in London in October 1970. It received a mixed reception, but by March 1971, it had nearly sold out its second printing. It has been translated into eleven languages.<ref>{{cite book |last=Wilde |first=W.

| [[File:Booked Up In Archer City.JPG|right|thumb|240px|One of McMurtry's bookstores in Archer City, Texas]] | | ==Summary== |
| [[File:Books! at Booked Up 29 Mar 2010.jpg|thumb|One of the aisles of books at Booked Up in Archer City]] | | The book is a [[Feminism|feminist]] analysis, written with a mixture of [[polemic]] and scholarly research. It was a key text of the feminist movement in the 1970s, broadly discussed and criticised by other feminists and the wider community, particularly through the author's high profile in the broadcast media. In sections titled "Body", "Soul", "Energy", "Love" and "Hate" Greer examines historical definitions of women's perception of [[Self (psychology)|self]] and uses a premise of imposed limitations to critique modern [[consumer]] societies, [[female]] "[[Norm (sociology)|normality]]", and [[masculinity|masculine]] shaping of [[stereotype]]s quoting, "The World has lost its soul, and I my sex."<ref name="Greer, Germaine 2006">Greer, Germaine. ''The Female Eunuch''. UK: Harper Perennial, 2006.</ref> In contrast to earlier feminist works, Greer uses humour, boldness, and coarse language to present a direct and candid description of female sexuality, much of this subject having remained undiscussed in English-speaking societies. Greer's irreverence towards [[Sigmund Freud]] and [[psychoanalysis]] was inspired by [[Simone de Beauvoir]]'s ''[[The Second Sex]]''.<ref>{{cite book |author=Webster, Richard |title=Why Freud Was Wrong: Sin, Science and Psychoanalysis |publisher=The Orwell Press |location=Oxford |year=2005 |page=22 |isbn=0-9515922-5-4}}</ref> The work bridged academia and the contemporary arts in presenting the targets of the final section of the book, ''Revolution''; it is in accord, and often associated with, a creative and revolutionary movement of the period. |

Women should get to know and come to accept their own bodies, taste their own menstrual blood, and give up [[celibacy]] and [[monogamy]]. Yet they should not burn their bras. "Bras are a ludicrous invention", she wrote, "but if you make bralessness a rule, you're just subjecting yourself to yet another repression."<ref>Foreword to the Paladin 21st Anniversary Edition, 2006.</ref> Greer complains of the "genteel, middle-class ladies" who sit on women's rights committees and spend their time signing petitions to achieve equality. Greer expresses that to gain equality a woman must not be genteel but she should instead seek revolution. |
| | In a foreword added to the 21st anniversary edition, Greer references the loss of women's freedom with the "sudden death of communism" (1989) as catapult for women the world over for a sudden transition into consumer Western society wherein there is little to no protection for mothers and the disabled; here, there is no freedom to speak: |

| | In a 1971 interview, Greer said of her book that "The title is an indication of the problem. Women have somehow been separated from their libido, from their faculty of desire, from their sexuality. They've become suspicious about it. Like beasts, for example, who are castrated in farming in order to serve their master's ulterior motives—to be fattened or made docile—women have been cut off from their capacity for action. It's a process that sacrifices vigor for delicacy and succulence, and one that's got to be changed."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1971/03/22/archives/germaine-greer-opinions-that-may-shock-the-faithful.html |title=Germaine Greer -- Opinions That May Shock the Faithful |first=Judith |last=Weinraub |date=22 March 1971 |work=[[The New York Times]] |at=food fashions family furnishings section, page 28 |archive-url=https://www.nytimes.com/books/99/05/09/specials/greer-shock.html |archive-date=5 October 2016}}</ref> In January 1972 ''[[The Age]]''{{'}}s reviewer [[Thelma Forshaw]] described ''The Female Eunuch'' as "the orchestrated over-the-back-fence grizzle ... based on the curious fancy ... we were all men, and then some fiend castrated half of us and gave us a ghastly internal bookie's bag called a womb".<ref name="Ricketson">{{cite book | chapter-url = https://books.google.com/books?id=ShkiqPn_tToC&pg=PA53 | title = The Best Australian Profiles | chapter = Germaine Greer | last = Dunstan | first = Keith | author-link = Keith Dunstan | editor = Matthew Ricketson | page = 53 | location = Melbourne, Vic | publisher = Black Inc | year = 2004 | isbn = 9781863952934 }}</ref> The newspaper declared that the review "has stirred up a considerable controversy".<ref name="Age1">{{cite news | url = https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1300&dat=19720120&id=neFUAAAAIBAJ&pg=5321,3108293 | title = Letters to the Editor | page = 8 | work = [[The Age]] | publisher = [[Fairfax Media]] | date = 20 January 1972 | access-date = 13 November 2012 }}</ref> According to the journalist [[Keith Dunstan]], "[t]he reviews of [the book] were extremely mixed.
