Close enough to the end that I think I can push through!

I think I’ve somehow picked up a Nicholas Sparks book.

Moving a little faster now. Definitely did not expect it to be so romancey.

And I don’t understand why they have never said the main character’s name.

Some animal cruelty, but that was expected from a book this old.

Oof. This book is pretty boring, but I guess that’s the stuff of real cowboys. A little bit of ranch life and lots of pining for a woman.

We’ll get there someday! Not a very complicated plot, so not much to forget between sessions.

Slowly getting there. This has become the book I read when I'm on planes or unable to sleep.

It’s now going back and forth between very tame romance and an anti-egalitarian treatise.

Definitely as patriarchal as I was expecting. Was not expecting it to be a romance novel.

The Virginian seems to be the only one with an accent. A couple other characters are written with accents. I guess that was the style then and it’s obnoxious.
