Lonesome Dove.
Well, I have watched this movie/mini series numerous times and someone on here recommended I read the book. Just finished it. Excellent, enjoyed every page. No wonder it won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Highly recommend it. If you only read one western novel in your lifetime, make sure it's Lones...

Lonesome Dove.
Just finished watching this great western. Never gets old. I just ordered the book, I suppose some of you have read it. Does the movie stick to the original Larry McMurtrie novel?
