Galloway, by Louis L’Amour

[rachelmanija]

A Sackett novel in L’Amour’s series about a huge clan of tough mountain men who come riding to the rescue if one of them is in trouble. I listened to this one on audio

Lamour is considered one of the best Western writers for good reason. I got hooked on his stuff as a kid, and still go through periodic bouts of "wanna read some badass Sackett stories."

Your post is my 3rd encounter with a discussion of Louis L'Amour today! One other was in the context of discussing his novel Sitka set in Alaska which I haven't read (and we discussed The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Chabon, in relation to Sitka). Anyway, what is the universe trying to tell me? Should I be reading more Westerns? Or just more L'Amour?

[rachelmanija]

Have you read any L'Amour?

[rurounitriv]

If not, you should. He's got his flaws, but he's a great read! (Hmmm, maybe I should do a Lamour next time my turn comes up at book club...)

Yep, I have. I think I've read about three of them, liked the first two, not so much the third. This was years ago, though.

That is a badass beginning!
