I know I shouldn't start with yet another genre of literature as I have more unread books than I can get through in several lifetimes but I feel the pull of the range and the wide open spaces.....

I already for June on the Range! I'm going to make a video about it sometime soon. I was hoping I could find a Cowboy hat for filming the video. You would think it would be easy to find one here in Texas 😂. From Louis L'Amour I have Hondo and Last Stand at Papago Wells. I still need to find a Zane Grey but that should be easy. I have a 5 book collection of Max Brand books in hardcover to pick through. I will read at least one of those. And in my most optimistic moments I think I can tackle Lonesome Dove as well, but I doubt it. I have other plans for June beyond Westerns. I will see you out on the range! 🤠

I like Westerns, but don't read them that often, so this will be fun! I'm joining Roger, but reading Zorro Rides Again, as I recently found a copy for $1 at the thrift store. I've read the first one several times, own a copy, and enjoy it a lot. I hope you do, too. I don't know which L'Amour I'll read; I recently read Ride the River and thought it was super! I'll see what strikes my fancy at the thrift store or library. I also have Bitterroot by Richard S Wheeler. I've read a few Barnaby Skye novels and found them good quality and entertaining, so I expect to like this one. I also enjoy William W. Johnstone, especially his books set in Colorado, as I grew up there, and I'm due a reread of The Virginian by Owen Wister, so lots of possibilities. When I was a young girl back in the 60s a family friend loaned me his complete collection of Zane Gray and I read them all that summer. The red cover you held up looked like I remember those books - but it was a long time ago. I don't know if I'll read another Gray or not, maybe Betty Zane. It's been ages since I read that, and in grade school my girlfriend and I both had crushes on Wetzel. lol Thanks for your entertaining videos, they always brighten my day, and I even watch the ones with topics I'm not really interested in. lol

I will be joining in, but I'm off to an early start. I'm currently reading 'Desert Gold' by Zane Grey which I most likely won't finish until June (it takes me a while to get through his stuff). For L'Amour, it will be 'Heller with a Gun'. Rounding out my selections will be 'The Gun Fight' by Richard Matheson and something by Elmore Leonard, Don Coldsmith, or Larry McMurtry. FYI - I'm always reading at least one Western (I usually have 3-5 books going at a time), but it's nice to focus on an event that others are participating in. Cheers!

June on the Range... Don't forget the old- time writers like Max Brand, Luke Short and Ernest Haycox! Many of the old B&W movies used their stories. The best Zane Grey was the trio Betty Zane, Spirit of the Border and The Last Trail but a little before the old west westerns.

I saw a few episodes of the old Lone Ranger show a couple of years ago (after decades). In one, men came in and said their nefarious activity was interrupted by a masked man, all in white, on a Palamino, and he had an Indian with him. The boss said, "Wait, was the Indian riding a 'Paint ?" Like there were other masked do-gooders all in white on Palaminos with Indian sidekicks riding other-colored horses.

Where's Roger's ten-gallon hat? June on the Range is a good excuse for me to read a western, which I haven't done in many, many months--and I LOVE westerns! I haven't read any Zane Grey in several years, and even longer for L'Amour. Charles Alden Seltzer wrote in that period BETWEEN Grey and L'Amour, so his style is a bit closer to that of Grey. Not as action packed as L'Amour's stories, but a good storyteller, just the same. If you found ANY book at HPB for 10 cents, you found a bargain for sure.

I once lost a Wagon Train. It was real embarrassing I will definitely read some Westerns next month. Bill Pronzini is one of those writers who really should be better known. Clair Huffaker wrote a book called The Cowboy and The Cossack about a cattle drive in Russia. It is probably the second best cattle drive novel I've read. (The best is of course is Lonesome Dove.) He also wrote a Western called Flaming Lance that became a movie with Elvis. I have the novel but haven't read it or seen the movie. He also wrote for TV westerns. His episode "The Hero" in The Virginian was very good.
