What are you reading these days?

Nice! I’ve been hitting the second hand bookstores searching for the earlier L’Amour books that have the full cover art. The artwork is awesome on his books (IMO).

His Sackett series is worth the read

All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy is a great novel. I would compare it to Hemingway. It is not a great movie though.

Finished 1776 a few weeks ago. Very good historical read, not too dry. Trying to decide on my next.

I read this one too. Dang, lot of surprising commonality in this thread’s reading list.

That's what I hear. Cant' wait to start them.

I much prefer shorter books 150-300 pages.

I've had Lonesone Dove sitting on my shelf for a year because most book sites say "if you're going to read only 1 Western book it should be Lonesome Dove" but the 860 page length has made me continue to put it off until I read some shorter books I already have on the shelf.

Lonesome Dove is one of the best American novels ever written. I bet you will read it faster than you think.

I finished this read earlier this year and then me and the wife did a trip on Presidents Day weekend up to Yorktown, Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg. I'm so glad to have read this before visiting America's Historic Triangle.

That's on par with what I've heard. They say once you get past the first 200 or so pages it really takes off and is hard to put down.

And if you are, you should go find yourself and then notify yourself that you have been located.
It would be epic .

Only if there's a reward
