Westerns with special guest Mark Harris

In this video, my daddy, Mark Harris, appears as a special guest to discuss the Western genre. We mostly talk about Louis L'Amour books, with (not so) brief segues into John Wayne movies, why I never got a horse growing up, and gun advice.

Best outro yet! Love the "Go clean your gun" line! Perfect!

You never know what Mark Harris will say!

Y'all are too funny together!! My mother-in-law was a big Louis L"Amour fan too.

We had a great time filming the episode!

I enjoyed the John Wayne stories :) I may not be a fan of the western genre, but I did enjoy hearing your dad talk about Louis L'Amour. Thanks for sharing :)

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

Thank you for watching even though you’re not a western fan! I think my dad is entertaining on pretty much any subject.

I have read Hondo many years ago, but can't believe I haven't watched the movie! I want to read Down the Long Hills because of Big Red! Lol I enjoyed listening to Mr. Harris and his western savviness! 🤩 Great episode! Love the bond you and your parents have through reading. 🫶

Thank you for watching! You’ve got to watch Hondo now!

A superb episode, Katie! Kudos to you and Mark!
I'm ashamed to say I've never read one Louis L'Amour book, but I'm going to go down a reading rabbit hole and get every single one y'all discussed. I'll be watching the movie El Dorado too. It must be terrific if you've watched it 100+ times!
Have either of you read The Berrybender Narratives by Larry McMurtry? It is one of my all-time favorite tetrologies and, for me, it stands above Lonesome Dove, Streets of Laredo, Dead Man's Walk, and Comanche Moon. An aside: The Berrybender Narratives has a super strong female protagonist.

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

I am so excited about your L'Amour reading rabbit hole! You are going to have so much fun! Please let me know how you like them, and El Dorado.
I have never read The Berrybender Narratives, and Daddy says he hasn't either. You have made me want to try it, though! Thanks for the recommendation!
