  17. Reading #lonesomedove. I feel like having played #reddeadredemption2 was a big help on filling the landscapes and general vibe.

  18. Larry McMurtry’s Archer City bookstore Booked Up will become a literary center

    [McMurtry] eventually filled four gigantic, book-stuffed storefronts there, hoping to make Archer City an attraction for road-tripping book lovers, modeled after Hay-on-Wye in Wales.

    Left to himself, his friends said, McMurtry would either be writing books or he would be buying books, and he did both with assiduity.

  20. There is something magical in #reading #lonesomedove; it is a #western and #historicalfiction and, in the first 100 pages, it is pretty vivid in the description. We are in Texas and after the American civil war; it is a tad challenging to get though the rampant racism (and it truly comes across) and mysoginy, I guess typical of the time. Great depiction of Lonesome Dove so far.

    Have you read this book? Do you like western stories?

  21. I could have driven a herd of cattle from Texas to Montana in the time it has taken me to read Lonesome Dove.

    I'm liking it, but egads is it long.

  22. “What I like about you is you’re quiet. Jim talked every second that he didn’t have a whiskey bottle in his mouth. I got tired of listening. Also, you’re skinny. If you don’t last, you’ll be easy to bury. I’ve buried enough husbands to take such things into account. What do you say?” --Louisa explaining to Roscoe why she wants to marry him.

  23. Digging the characters in Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry. They're distinctive and amusing, if not very complex.

  24. "He went in and took a drink or two from a bottle of whiskey he kept under his couch and usually only used as a remedy for toothache. He was careful not to drink too much, since the last thing he needed was for the people in Fort Smith to get the notion he was a drunk. But then, the next thing he knew, despite his care, the whiskey bottle was empty, and he seemed to have drunk it, although it did not feel to him like he was drunk."
