Lonesome Dove
// Lonesome Dove // 800 plus pages read from August to November, this book was a journey! Definitely in the top spot of this years books read. From the excerpts in front... "If you read only one western novel in your life, read Lonesome Dove." & "A compelling & memorable epic." I do find of the prizes to be won, Pulitzers for me tend to be a sign of a good read. This one was also in my copy of "A 1000 Books to Read Before You Die" - also a good sign. A Pulitzer winner from 1986, I found Lonesome Dove to be engaging & amusing with memorable characters ~ every time I picked it up I found myself surprised by something. That said, there's some heavy content & a few disclaimers before I'd selectively recommend it, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed & gave it five stars! I finished the last chapter on a beautiful Saturday morning in November(!) by the patio fire. A lovely & memorable end. This book also wins a Favourite Character A
