It’s so awesome that this book has been rediscovered by so many that it even got written up on Esquire. I read in college back in 1987 (it was part of the curriculum for a Southwestern Literature class) and it just grabbed me and to this day has not let me go.

Something must be in the water because a ton of people seem to be reading it.

Westerns and Pulp is back and here to stay. I think all those who love the two, well, we started something.

Read it last summer. It quickly became not only one of my favorite Westerns, but favorite books period.

Awesome review. It's been on my TBR for ages and I might just have to bump it up the list.

You def should… I feel kind of dumb for avoiding it for so long.

No lie, I'm partial to Terms Of Endearment. It's a special book by Mr. McMurtry.

Great review. I finished the horse rustling excursion to Mexico.

I just finished Lonesome Dove! Didn’t think I’d like it (generally not a fan of westerns) but the characters hooked me in. I’d spend all day thinking about them and just waiting to get back to reading. Easily one of my favorite books.
