Sequel to Lonesome Dove…fantastic. It comes in under Lonesome Dove, but I would say this is a must read if you loved LD. As soon as I can get to the library, I‘m getting the first prequel, Dead Man‘s Walk. #Texas #Mexico #BigBookSummerChallenge. McMurtry does women well and they are given the credit they deserve. Love his characters, love his story telling. This book was hugged, just not quite as much, but it‘s worthy.

Lonesome Dove (Classic) | Larry McMurtry

pick

I‘m am so happy I lived long enough to read this book. It would‘ve been a shame to die without this experience. This book gets 10 hugs and kisses out of 10. Epic saga and adventure. McMurtry does not disappoint. #Texas, #Arkansas, #Kansas, #Nebraska #Wyoming, #Montana
Captain Augustus McCrea may be my favorite literary character of all time, but I love Captain Call too. #BigBookSummerChallenge

LeahBergen I enjoyed all four in this series (but Lonesome Dove is the standout). 👍 5mo

JanuarieTimewalker13 @LeahBergen ok, good to know. I‘m only on p100 of SOL and I was wondering if I should read the prequels. I think I‘ll take a break and maybe come back to prequels. 5mo

Walking Home: A Poet's Journey | Simon Armitage

Still working on Walking, but I‘m about halfway through; it‘s a wonderful book, and FUNNY. Two of my book weaknesses are books about walking and books set in bookstores.

And I‘m in for #24b4Monday! We‘ll see how far I get this time. Once I‘m done with Walking I‘ll start on one of my chunksters for the #bigbooksummerchallenge.

Andrew65 Great to have you with us. Good luck. 😊👍 Two great themes for books. (edited) 5y

JamieArc Have you read the tagged book? I love books about walking as well, and these essays brought me a lot of joy. They were very readable (don‘t let the word philosophy scare you). And welcome to Litsy from another #mittenlitten 🧤

A Philosophy of Walking
