If any of yall are into western literature check out Louis L’Amour if you haven’t already. I have quite a few of his books since they are at a lot of yard sales for some reason. I finally read one of his anthologies and loved it. Painted a great picture in my head. Granted I grew with with a dad and big grandfathers who were into westerns.

Raised on it, particularly the Sackett series. Good stuff all around.
In my mountain of “books to be read” I have some of those. Has any of his stuff ever been adapted? I loved his writing from the first few pages. Also, have you read the Shogun book? You like it
I have not read it, I'm presently going through the audio books of the Dresden Files. Very good reads, particularly once the speaker gets a few books in. My job is... unusual, and having hands free is pretty important.
As for films, pretty sure half of Sam Eliott's career is L'amour films, there's definitely some out there.
Can confirm Shogun is an excellent book. The 80s miniseries is also excellent as well. Both are immeasurably better than the recent girlboss version.
If I find the time between children, wife, and job I'll have to see if I can get a copy.
Thanks. I think I have the Dresden files in my pile to read as well. I’ll be reading til the day I die
Not a terrible situation to be in. I'm fortunate to have had a head start, my mother homeschooled our family pretty much with library cards and math textbooks.
