Just finished my first Louis L'Amour, The Quick And The Dead. Enjoyed it very much. Quick fun read. I picked up a couple more! Thanks to you and June on the range.

I'm so happy to hear that! And thanks for the kind words.

My Grandfather-in-law loved reading Louis Lamour and I read a few when we visited, as he always had a stack beside his easy chair. The Thundering Herd, a friend cribbed that title for a piano piece. I always thought I would have a weekend place, a "ranch," to keep my western book collection, still have the books but not the ranch.

I always wanted to have a big ranch house in the middle of nowhere. I hear you!

Just discovered through my public library (via the Libby app) the digital collections of L'Amour's short stories -- 7 volumes -- have now read volume one --35 stories -- all exceptionally good! Loved it so much that I want to read it again! Enjoyed very much your survey of your collection.

This makes me so happy, Suzanne! He was a great writer. Thanks for tuning in for my LL tribute!

I would recommend Dorothy M. Johnson's Western if you haven't read them, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," "A Man Called Horse" being a few.....L'Amour is always good, easy to read, never dull.....and I just started reading Richard Matheson's "The Memoirs Of Wild Bill Hickok."....short read, but worth reading....some of my June On The Range reading anyway.

Awesome collection!! I love the cover art. Thanks mom!

Thank you. I enjoyed that.

Nice collection! Jubal is the most badass of all the Sacketts. The Kilkenny books are my favorites.
