    I’ve had Lonesome Dove on my shelf for about 6 months and haven’t gotten round to starting it. Will be starting it tomorrow after your video.

    Read Lonesome Dove for the first time last month. Most books I hesitate to rank amongst my favorites because recency bias is a real thing. But a month later I'm still thinking about the characters, starting the mini-series and just bought Streets of Laredo.

    This was the last book I read in 2023. I read it 20 years ago and it holds up. A top 5 book all time for me. The television miniseries is great too. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it.

  • @RavenWing1972
    @RavenWing1972 Год назад +1

    Harry can I make a recommendation to you (if you haven't already read it) It is called The Girl in the Picture - The Story of Kim Phuc, the Photo and the Vietnam War by
    Denise Chong. This book is the brutal story of how one little girl's injuries led to her being abused by the Vietnamese government for years. It is incredibly raw and emotional and if you have not already read it, I strongly recommend it to you.
