Lonesome Dove
$23
My friend thrust this book into my hand after a surprisingly long night out. Took me two months to read but what a journey. This should be required reading for American students. Sorry I said it!! I didn’t have a clear picture of how this time and place might have been experienced by those who lived it and boy, is it harrowing and grim out there on the Great Plains. Fell in love with the characters.

“Wow. I finished Lonesome Dove yesterday and kind of don’t know what to do with myself now. Such a brutal, emotional, deep, funny, epic book.

I think it has some of the most moving writing about a woman/from a woman’s perspective by a man that I’ve ever read which surprised me from a western, but this entire book is su”

“Finally read Lonesome Dove, which has been having a moment. Don't let the 800 pages deter you: it's page-turning, laugh-out-loud funny, heartbreaking, and profoundly human. It transcends the Western genre as a novel about kinship, mortality, and what it means to live a good life. Quite possibly the finest storytelling I've ever read 😭”

“This adventure is nothing short of extraordinary. Every word is perfect. I'll be recommending this for a long long time. Thanks to all the RL recommenders who put this on my radar @James Kylstra, @Louise Buckley, @Amanda, and so many others.”
