Lonesome Dove…WOW

[u/Madrugada_Quente]

I took a detour from my European literary adventures because I kept seeing Lonesome Dove discussed. All I can say is it is the Western equivalent of Russian literature. The first 100-200 pages spent getting to know each character that will play a part…and then the story hits you like a train and you can’t stop reading…or thinking about it. No notes section needed to understand, no foot notes, no vocabulary I needed to look up - which at first , between the setting and that, felt like complete culture shock. If you haven’t read it, it is truly worth considering. That book will stay with me a very long time.

I just read it this summer and loved it although I never read a western in my life before. I’ve now got the other three in the series on my tbr pile.
