Don on Ted's plane: The Last Picture Show

McMurtry's 1966 novel about teenagers in a dying Texas town, filmed in black and white by Peter Bogdanovich in 1971. McMurtry later won an Oscar for co-writing Brokeback Mountain. A book about small-town affairs going sideways is a pointed thing to hand the married man you're sleeping with.
