Currently on The Outsider by Stephen King and Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry. Lonesome Dove I only picked up because of all of the glowing reviews here. I'm not generally interested in a Western, but it's great so far.
I've recently finished NOS4A2 by Joe Hill, Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain, and The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Good, good-ish, and ok.

Lonesome Dove is one of my favorite books of all time. Try the Thalia trilogy, McMurtry is great.

Interesting, I thought it was pretty soft on supported facts until I got to the 18 pages of sources section at the end. Certainly makes me wonder about farming.

I'll for sure do that. Thanks for the tip. I looked up what a signed copy of Lonesome Dove would cost for Christmas and I am just gonna have to stick with the library for now.

Working my way through the Alex McKnight series while I wait to find something more interesting. Serves the purpose, but only so-so.
Is the book better than the movie? I always thought the movie was done well and didn’t wanna ruin the movie by reading the book.

yes it is, you just can’t fit that much into the time allotted, even in a miniseries. That being said, I think they did as good a job as any movie I’ve seen following the book.

I just read Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter. It's a novel about some fictional events in Italy in the 1960s and contemporary Hollywood. It has nothing to do with hunting or the outdoors but it's engaging, compelling, and often funny.

Incredible book. The guy was an absolute beast. Following the Caribou Migration with a pack and snowshoes=amazing
The book of John, the book of Job, and Boenhoffer by Eric Metaxes. Next up is Men Against the Clouds by Richard Lloyd Burdsall. I heard it was an amazing story and ordered a used copy online. When it arrived I was surprised to find it autographed by one of the men from the expedition. Amazing
