Approaching the end of this book is like knowing your best friend is moving away in grade school and it’s sad to know that era of your friendship is coming to an end and nothing you can do can stop it.

Chapter 58. That’s all.

A lot of book left, but hard to think of another book that will be Lonesome Dove’s equal in my mind when all is said and done and I finally reach the end.

Truly magnificent. I’ve felt every emotion you could. Truly a magnificent story I have found myself in.

A lot of good progress after a weekend travelling with no reading done. I’m loving the book, great cast of characters incredible setting, the fist 1/4 felt like this one great set up in how everyone interacts with each other and then throws them into the rest of the story. It’s shocking how quickly every character has begun to feel fully realized. Truly hooked now

Slower going than I’d like, this is a very good book, but also it likes taking its time. It’s not like the previous book I read where I felt like things are just slow for the hell if it, this feels well done and not something that was just added in without thinking. Makes for a really enjoyable experience.

Before passing out tonight I managed to get the first 2 chapters in. Too early to say certainly but what little I’ve gleamed and learned about the already colorful characters of the Hat Creek Cattle Company has been great. Looking forward to giving this some more dedicated time tomorrow and this weekend to really sink my teeth in.
