Lonesome Dove

Key Takeaways

Kyle, in 2024 in Books: I was talking to a good friend of mine about how much I loved books like The Storm Testament or Cormac McCarthy’s All The Pretty Horses and he said, “well, I’m sure you love Lonesome Dove.” Not only did I not love it, I hadn’t ever even heard of it. He was nice enough to immediately order me a copy of the book. My wife and I read it for a while, but its a heavy read so instead we turned to the audiobook version and listened to it together at night before we went to bed. And sure enough, I did end up loving it.

Recommended: Came up as a book recommendation (Western) on a December 2021 work call (private meeting note in the wiki).
