What Book Are You Reading?

Dodge City: Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson and the Wickedest Town in the American West. --Tom Klavin. I've always been into the west of the 1700s and 1800s since one side of my family came west from Missouri in covered wagons and another side came from Illinois by the same method. Grandma , who raised me was a horsewoman born in 1884 and her mother was born in Missouri in 1862. I'm all over the series 1882. (oops--1883)

 

Dean Koontz - The Forbidden Door. I used to be a fan of this author, but adding long words I have never heard of to every paragraph is doing nothing to impress me.

 

Thanks to the reader above, I'm about to start reading

 

.......this is also on my wishlist

 

Soon--Larry McMurtry : Streets of Laredo. Last book in the Lonesome Dove trilogy.

 

I'm about to read this incredible book for the umpteenth time. I first read it in the '70s when I was in high school. Since then, I reread it many times over and always found some details I had overlooked from the previous time. This happened every time I read this book again ........it won't be an exception this time either.
Watson really knew how to explain how Nature can be super and majestically amazing. Despite the title, it has nothing to do with the occult or supernatural issues. If anyone wants to read it, pls do it so....you will be surprised how chock-block full of goodies it is; I also discovered there is a volume 2 which came out in the 80s, but it's very hard to find.

 

About to begin

 

"Origin-A Genetic History of he Americas" by Jennifer Raff

 

One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

 

Just finished Angel of Greenwood by Randi Pink. Amazing story of the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921.

I watched the movie Hostiles the other day and thought 'What western novels are there?'
I came across 'Blood Meridian' by Cormac McCarthy. I'm finding it difficult to read his style of writing but still enjoying it

 

I recommend the Sacketts series by Louis L'Amour. All his stuff, really.
Also anything by Zane Grey and William Johnstone.

 

A friend recommended "the 5 languages of love" - sounds interesting... I have read an article about it and i I have learned a lot... do you know which language of love you speek?

 

About to finish Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles
