I read it last night. It was okay but didn't really impress me like some of the others.

It’s definitely worth reading and the length of the book is kinda intimidating but well worth spending my days reading it."Definitely one of those classics that intimidates with it's length but totally worth reading.

Are you reading both parts? I'd like to know how you think they compare. Personally I thought the second part ruined it.
What a classic is will always be debated. The older I get the more fifty years doesn't seem that long ago.Professors and literati are always making up lists and I think they're doing pretty well now that they include world literature and things like pulp stories and comics.

Thanks. I'm reading slowly but really enjoying it.
Welcome new Members.
Yeah, I haven't read many westerns yet but I've always resisted Lonesome Dove because it's long and it's the one people never shut up about lol. But I gave in and I'm reading it. I do like the writing. Nothing much has happened yet, it's just slice of life in the old west and everybody's backstory.
I've never seen three of the same letter in a row in any word in any language.
What kind of name is Belllound?
Oh so the cutoff here is thrity years?I just started Lonesome Dove and I was surprised that it was from 1985.

Well that was a really quick, intersting read. I liked White Fell a lot. She was sort of an anti-red riding hood. And I was thinking that it could make the basis of a good movie.It's a confusing mix of Christian allegory and women's empowerment.
Gere's an interesting article:

The Earth colony of Landin has been stranded on Werel for ten years. But ten of Werel's years are over 600 terrestrial years.The lonely & dwindling human settlement is beginning to feel the strain. Every winter --a season that lasts for 15 years-- the Earthmen have neighbors: the humanoid hilfs, a nomadic people who only settle down for the cruel cold spell. The hilfs fear the Earthmen, whom they think of as witches & call the farborns.
But hilfs & farborns have common enemies: the hordes of ravaging barbarians called gaals & eerie preying snow ghouls. Will they join forces or be annihilated?
THE WERE-WOLF tells the tale of two brothers, Christian and Sweyn, whose lives are upturned by the arrival of a beautiful white-haired stranger. Sweyn is smitten by the woman, who calls herself White Fell, but Christian soon harbors dark suspicions: could she be the werewolf he has been tracking all this time? Considered an instant classic upon its publication, The Were-Wolf is both a thrilling tale of suspense and horror and a meditation on power of love and sacrifice that has enthralled readers since its first publication.
Flat cats, the original tribbles.And yes, Hazel was my favorite.
Yeah, Hazel is great. Reminds me of my own Grandma. She wasn't as educated but just as opinionated.
