I haven’t read any “new to me” books lately. I’ve still been plowing through many of my old favorites because that’s apparently what my brain wants to consume right now. I’m not fighting it, I’m actually enjoying them. You can see that list here.
But I didn’t want to leave you empty handed in case you need a new to you book to read, so I’ve decided that I’m going to tell you about books that I have read before and loved. I can’t re-read every single book I’ve ever read (oh how I wish I had that many hours in my day!), so it’s unlikely that I will get to tell you about all of them unless I just tell you about them. Did any of that make sense? When I haven’t read a new, never read before book, I’ll just tell you about a book that I’ve read in the past that I think you might want to read too. Okay? Okay.
This week I wanted to tell you about the book Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry.
This is another book that I first read years and years ago, but have gone back to many, many times. It was turned into a television series in 1988 which is OUTSTANDING, but the book! The book is unmatched as a western in my humble opinion.
If you want to lose yourself in an epic story set in the 1870’s with a cast of characters that are phenomenal, this is the book. You are going to laugh, you are going to bawl your eyes out, and your heart will swell with love, compassion and downright anger for the people in this book.
What is one of your favorite books? Have you read Lonesome Dove? What did you think about it?
