Anyone Want to Talk About Lonesome Dove (Book)?

[Mountain Man]

At 843 pages there's no economy of words although McMurtry paints many of his characters one dimensionally. I read it after the TV series and enjoyed the book immensely. I was hooked when McMurtry explained Gus's sourdough biscuit regimen. The ending wasn't flat to me...wish it'd been more pages.

That biscuit sequence was one of my favorite parts as well! Your mouth almost starts salivating as you read it, even if you don’t particularly care for biscuits.

Tell the truth, I had just started reading it again. Read it a long time ago.

But this one is very hard to put down also…..

Been listening to the audio book at work. The narrator does an amazing job. I have a hard time shutting it off when I get home!
