Doc by Mary Doria Russell is one of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to. Michael McGarrity's Hard Country and the sequel Backlands are both excellent. I'm making a list of more McMurtry, as this is the first Western by him that I have read . . . also on audiobook with a great reader. (less)

Alex Leaf Thanks! Will definitely check them out. I am reading Warlock right now. Very good, but no Lonesome Dove.
