1.		Lonesome Dove from Pocket Price: $7.99 Customer Review: This is one of those rather rare books that can be classified as a "cross over book." That is, you really need not be a fan of the Western genre to appreciate and enjoy reading it. I fall into that category. While I have certainly read Westerns from time to time, I do not particularly like them nor... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Ceremony: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) from Penguin Books Price: $10.09 Customer Review: I have to read this for a lame LBST class, but I'm trying to make the best of it. As far as I can tell, it is pretty well written, it's just a shame that I don't care. My teacher, however, gives it rave reviews. If you're just looking for something to read that's interesting. Search Dean Koonz or... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Books: A Memoir from Simon & Schuster Price: $16.32 Customer Review: A random, and utterly boring, compilation of various bookstores and collectors that the author has encountered over the years. Don't expect memorable anecdotes. Plenty of name dropping, but the names are meaningless to those outside the trade. No narrative drive. Left me wondering, "What's the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Comanche Moon : A Novel from Simon & Schuster Price: $11.56 Customer Review: I wish I had read the book before I saw the movie. So much more realism in the book. The characters seem to jump out of the pages and become real. I cant wait to get back to reading after I have stopped. I want to finish this so I can get to the next book.

5.	[no image]	Streets of Laredo from Random House Value Publishing Customer Review: The plot of STREETS OF LAREDO seems simple enough. Captain Woodrow Call, bounty hunter extraordinaire, is hired by Colonel Terry, the president of a railroad, to capture train robber and serial killer, Joey Garza. But there are enough twists and turns in Larry McMurtry's novel to turn a simple... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Dead Man's Walk (Lonesome Dove) from Pocket Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I am reading this book now and am in Part IV. I really enjoy it b/c it keeps my attention (something a lot of books don't do for me). The encounters of Gus and Call are fitting, and this is a good story about their years before they take on LONESOME DOVE, probably the best example of western writing... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		A Book of Photographs from Lonesome Dove (Wittliff Gallery of Southwestern and Mexican Photography) from University of Texas Press Price: $29.70 Customer Review: A high quality collection of photos from the famous Lonesome Dove movie. A true depiction of Texas and the Old West. A grand authentic and historically accurate portrayal.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		LEAVING CHEYENNE : A Novel from Simon & Schuster Price: $10.41 Customer Review: To readers of this space it is no surprise that I am reviewing a Larry McMurtry novel. I have "discovered" this little Texas gem of an author recently (although I knew of him and some of his work earlier). Naturally, once I get "high" on an author I tend to read everything that I can get my hands... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Folly and Glory: A Novel (Berrybender Narratives) from Simon & Schuster Price: $4.99 Customer Review: As the concluding book in the Berrybender series, I found this volume to be pretty much as expected and projected in the other books. Once again, the reader gets drawn into the world being portrayed and once again, we learn about the people through their reactions to the events presented. Yet the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Telegraph Days: A Novel from Pocket Star Price: $7.99 Customer Review: Maybe his worst yet, if he indeed wrote it. McMurtry somehow went from being an extraordinary writer to someone who now cranks them out for the money.I am a great fan of his early works but will not buy another of his books. I have been burned too many times in the past fifteen years.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		By Sorrow's River: A Novel (The Berrybender Narratives) from Simon & Schuster Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Unlike some of McMurtry's other books, which often present events objectively with a kind of emotional disconnect that makes the reactions of the people seem cavalier, By Sorrow's River reaches an emotional depth that goes beyond the story itself and delves into the psychology of the characters.... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		The Wandering Hill: A Novel (The Berrybender Narratives) from Simon & Schuster Price: $10.20 Customer Review: This is quite a vivid depiction of life on the frontier and the contrast between the wealthy, spoiled Europeans, the frontier men who fed and protected the Europeans and the Indians. The character development was interesting as the story progressed. All in all it was a good tale with some colorful... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The Facts of Life: and Other Dirty Jokes from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Willie is able to give the reader insight into his personality in a funny and entertaining way making the reader want to keep reading! The book is full of information about the singer/songwriter and has some truly great lines and jokes!	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Sin Killer from Simon & Schuster Customer Review: This first in the Berrybender series sets the stage for the future books by presenting most of the characters, with their unique personalities and their individual priorities, in the first few chapters. The setting of an English family riding up the Missouri hunting for game allows for great... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		The LAST PICTURE SHOW : A Novel from Simon & Schuster Price: $11.90 Customer Review: I was less than swept away by this book. In fact, I didn't finish it, because I just couldn't stomach it. I guess playing pool, drunken Saturday nights, baiting the disabled, sex with heifers, infidelity and other gems are not my cuppa. I saw the movie years ago, but barely remember it. No wonder.

16.		Horseman, Pass by from Orion Customer Review: I will concede that I have been on something of tear concerning the works of Larry McMurtry lately. That is just the way I operate when I find that rare novelist that "speaks" to me. Gore Vidal, the great American historical novelist, is another whose works you will be seeing reviewed more in this... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		When the Light Goes: A Novel from Simon & Schuster Price: $5.99 Customer Review: When the Light Goes is a good, quick read. I occasionally pick up a Larry McMurtry novel as a change of pace. His prose in this novel is very loose and moves very quickly, aided by the very short chapters. McMyrtry's description of aging accompanied by illness and lack of virility seems accurate, at... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Tent Life in Siberia: An Incredible Account of Siberian Adventure, Travel, and Survival from Skyhorse Publishing Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This account of a harrowing journey is so hard to put down. You will be shocked to see the sights of Kennan's journey. The dry, dark sense of humor in the writing is also very entertaining. There have been countless tales of journeys into the wild, and this will rank as one of the better ones.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Brokeback Mountain: Story to Screenplay from Scribner Price: $11.68 Customer Review: I had to purchase this book for a college course, otherwise I probably would never have read it. I found it boring and realized that it's probably better suited for either men who like cowboy stories, or people who are into studying how to create a screenplay from a move. The screenplay stays very... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		TEXASVILLE : A Novel from Simon & Schuster Price: $10.95 Customer Review: In the blink of an eye it seems we can go from a coming of age story to a mid-life crisis story. Or maybe it is just changing from one book to another. Ya, right? There may be a space of thirty years between the action in The Last Picture Show and Texasville but it hardly a blink of the eye. It... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
