The Lonesome Gods is one of my top 3 books. I have a loose definition of top 10, which is more like 50. But, there are three specific books that were life chantingly powerful for me of which this is one. My problem is, I do not prefer the Western genre. Finding the equivalent in other genres is a chore, literal come of age adventure from youngling to mature hero. Any one out there have any non western suggestions?

His epic stories such as Jubal Sackett, The Lonesome Gods, The Walking Drum, To the Far Blue Mountains, Fair Blows the Wind, Bendigo Shafter, etc.; these are the best stories. Mr. L'Amour is a storyteller and as such most of his stories have quality about them that other western writers don't possess. (less)

Is it worth reading?

Eddie I enjoyed it. Other than the love interest being a little forced, which is really a small part of story, all other characters were well rounded.
