I never thought l'd like Western fiction. Well, l don't actually know whether l do, but definitely l like Louis L'Amour.
I like his lyrical decriptions, his rough but sensitive cowboys, his elusive clever lndians. I like his epic stories, his long silences, his vivid nature.
This is a simpler story, but still very enjoyable and with great characters.
He's a great author.

I raided Barnes & Noble's westerns shelf for today's prompt! Maybe I should start reading westerns! #cowboydan #90sinJuly

#90sinJuly #CowboyDan So the first thing I thought of for 'Cowboy Dan' is the birthday party scene in the movie Parenthood where Steve Martin plays a character with the same name to save his son's party 🤷🏼‍♀️🤠👍 I don't read very many westerns or books with cowboys in them but here's two I thought of. I'm sure there were cowboys in Texas 1870 for News of the World & there's a story involving a paniolo in The Big Island in This is Paradise. 🐴🌴

My dirty little secret? I have a "Westerns" shelf. ?

Me to hubby: heard of a song called Cowboy Dan by group called Modest Mouse
Hubby : yeah, got a book about them at home. (Proceeds to tell me about band..)
This is book. Never heard the song or of the band!)

Fun fact: I was a teen mom, before it was 'cool' (gag). Work was scarce, my friends ditched me and I was alone, broke and bored. But I found thrift shop bag sales. I could fill my time, cheaply, with whatever books they had. No one donated 'good' books at the time but there was an endless supply of dirty cowboys and ranch hands. Had to be a #CowboyDan somewhere lol. All these years later, haven't parted with them

#90sinJuly #CowboyDan Ok, today's prompt is a bit of a challenge @Robothugs but I'm going with this amazing book I read a few years ago! It's about 4 childhood friends, one is now a rodeo star, another a farmer who married his HS sweetheart, then there's the guy who turned "city slicker" & lastly Lee, a bonafide musician with all the trappings of fame, success & money. This book is salt & earth goodness - a MUST READ ~ don't need to like cowboys?

#90sInJuly #day30 #CowboyDan This is, I believe, the only western book involving cowboys I own. I'm not a big fan of westerns as a whole, it's just not my genre, but this is not just a western, it's a paranormal romp through the deserts of California & Colorado. Lou Merriwether is a gun slinging, chain smoking, Stetson wearing Taoist psychopomp who's investigating the disappearance of young Chinese males from San Francisco. It's a wild ride!🐲
