Lonesome Dove
As soon as I started reading this, I was immediately hooked. One thing I didn’t know about Lonesome Dove is how FUNNY it is. The banter between the Texas Rangers is fantastic. And the story is so compelling. I couldn’t put it down – and it’s almost 1,000 pages long. As a Cormac McCarthy fan, I was thrilled by the post-Civil War period I’ve come to love in novels. And the whole time I was reading it, I was struck by the fact that this is how people really used to live. Snakes and scalpings and sandstorms, oh my! When I finished reading it, it was like I lost a friend - I was so depressed that I slept with it under my pillow. (It says third in a trilogy, but this was written first, and works perfectly well as a stand-alone.)
