LONG TIME NO GOODREADS UPDATE! I’ve been reading aplenty, just haven’t had the mind to log it. anyways, just started this monster of a book. Novels are so fun to log progress of, So here are my thoughts rn:
-Gus is like if Sam Hamilton was a little bit more promiscuous.
-Newt is presh
-Call is so grumpy old man and I love him
-Lorena needs to be loved properly for once
-OLD WESTERN NOVELS R SO BADASS & FUN

Part II is done. I have been waiting for several hundred pages for this dude to die, and now that he has, I’m actually really sad about it. No one is entirely evil, which is a pleasant thing, I reckon. Idk. But this book is FIRE.

LONG TIME NO UPDATE! I had been drowning in school and unable to devote the necessary time to this book up until about three days ago, and now I can’t put it down. what a freaking wonderful story this is. i need to hang out with Augustus McRae. Newt is an Angel. Lorena is my queen and I hope she gets everything she wants out of life. Call is so grandpa. Jake can kiss my ass. This is so fun

Well I finished part 1 and we are JUST NOW leaving for Montana. It’s relatively slow moving, but, man, I love the storytelling. It feels so familiar though i am ignorant of what it’s like to live their lives. Good stuff, if I may say.
over-arching lesson of part 1: a man is made good not by his words but his actions & there is always something beautiful ab where we are that we will one day miss.

I maxed out on character capacity but I just wanna add that there is something about reading such a big, complex story that takes place in early western America, during harvest season that is so nostalgic and comforting. This book feels like a sitting on the back porch of your grandparents house on a fall evening after eating supper as your grandfather tells you a story about life before the internet. It’s a warm blanket that I know will soon grow cold and then warm back up again and then eventually suffocate me.
