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.

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!

The actor who portrayed Blue Duck, in the movie/miniseries just passed away.From the inter webs:
Some sad news today. Oscar-nominated actor and Texan Frederic Forrest has passed away at the age of 86. Frederic was born in Waxahachie and is probably best known to Texans for playing the role of Blue Duck in Lonesome Dove. Forrest first came to public attention for his performance in When the Legends Die (1972), which earned him a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Newcomer. He went on to receive Academy and Golden Globe Award nominations in the Best Supporting Actor category for his portrayal of Huston Dyer in musical drama The Rose (1979).
Forrest portrayed Jay "Chef" Hicks in Francis Ford Coppola's epic war film Apocalypse Now (1979), and collaborated with Coppola on four other films: The Conversation (1974), One from the Heart (1982), Hammett (1982), and Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988). His other credits include The Missouri Breaks (1976), The Two Jakes (1990), and Falling Down (1993), along with the television series 21 Jump Street, Die Kinder and, of course, Lonesome Dove.
RIP Frederic Forrest!

Not a grandpa yet, but I'll have to make it a point to introduce the grandkids by whatever media they're using when that year comes. There's still nothing like having the heft of a good book in your hands! Maybe having that type of artifact in their hands will only heighten the reward of its contents

I’ve got to read the lonesome dove series again it’s been a while. If you haven’t read the Berrybender’s family story up the Yellowstone River in the four books starting with Sin Killer they are great as well.
