Re: Cowboy Novels?
Read many dime-store novel type stuff as a kid.
I actually was never much of a reader of fiction as I got older, but I remember really liking Louis L'Amour and Elmore Leonard's stuff. They wrote many novels, many of which were so popular that they got adapted into films, TV series, mini-series.
It's been many years since I sat down with one. I used to have a whole box full of L'Amour's stuff, and honestly he wrote TONS, and I never remember reading a bad one. The Quick and The Dead was pretty memorable. I think Cherokee Trail was good too I thought.
But it's been years also. I actually kind of moved on from them because they started to blend together.
Re: Cowboy Novels?
Not the 1995 Sam Raimi film. That was a stand-alone tribute to Dollars Trilogy.
The Louis L'Amour Quick & Dead was based on a family who stands up to outlaws in Northwest old west (can't remember if it was Wyoming or Montana or Colorado, one of them). It was turned into a movie in the late 80's with the great Sam Elliott, but it had no connection with the '95 film, other than the title.
Let me know how the Zane Grey book is.
And btw, western novels are nice, especially L'Amour's stuff for the fact it is DIRT CHEAP. Kind of like the old dime-store novels, that's why I dug it as a kid. For a kid that only had a couple bucks in his pocket at any given time in a bookstore, L'Amour's stuff would buy you several books usually, especially if they were used.
