Mustang Man | Louis L'Amour
post image

I usually love the Sackett family novels by L'Amour. This one, though, didn't do it for me. I rated this a 2.5 across multiple platforms but rounded up for the graphic.

I've got one more by L'Amour in my pressing pile but now I don't know. I'll give it a shot. If it's a mediocre as this one, I may just circle back to it at a later date.

Shout out to Moffat Library, Midwestern State University, Wichita Falls, TX for the copy of the book from ILL!

True Grit | Charles Portis

Finally made my way to this classic because a friend wanted to watch the John Wayne adaptation (it couldn't hold a candle to this novel, if you were wondering). The dialogue is every bit as delightful as you've always heard and Donna Tartt's narration is phenomenal. A book I could revel in but it was so engrossing I ended up finishing it in a day. Here's to the rereads to come!

marleed I have this book on my shelves - someday I‘ll get there! 1w
everlocalwest @marleed honestly the audio was so good - if you're a listener at all, I say go for it! 7d
marleed @everlocalwest Ohhh, maybe I‘ll do it in stereo with both audio and physical- I love that experience! 7d

The Sisters Brothers | Patrick DeWitt

Bailedbailed

The Sisters Brothers is marketed as a dark comedy Western. Dark comedies are one of my fav sub genres. However, I could not for the life of me find the humor. The writing style was very simple and straightforward musings from Eli Sisters (who I found naive and annoying). The plot felt repetitive following their journey and I did not like the callous violence. A scene with a child was when I decided it just wasn‘t my cup of tea.

LitStephanie I thought the movie was hilarious. I will stick with that version! 2w
RosePressedPages @LitStephanie I will have to give the movie a try! Maybe the movie will do a better job of conveying the humor for me :) 2w

It has been a while since I have read a Western novel. I loved it, the characters were believable. l loved the plot of the book also. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.

#Read2025 #AuthorAMonth2025

Finished today for #AuthorAMonth May. I loved James & wanted to read more Everett & ended up with this one because it was available from my library. I don‘t read a lot of Westerns it‘s just not a genre I gravitate to, but Everett drew me in with his sly wit & dark humor that had me laughing while also wincing at the racism & ignorance of the MC, Curt Marder & other characters in the book. I did not love the ending.

One way out of a miserable life of pain, debt, and loneliness is a fairy tale—barflies like to hear one, hunters want to write one, and Tom and Polly drive the plot of their own as the Bonnie and Clyde of 1890s Montana. To Tom and Polly, pursuing a life of escape, beyond the usual conventions and logic, is a noble no-brainer, given that all stories and all roads, even the ones by a beautiful coastline, must end.
