                                      That's right, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I began reading "The Lonesome Dove Tetralogy" on April 21, and finished it yesterday, June 13, at 5:45PM.

                                         I had originally planned on reading only "Lonesome Dove," which I had loved years before, and which "The New York Times" last year published a piece on, concerning, I think, its 40th anniversary of publication.

                                             But then I found out it was a series of four, so, since I already had bought a copy of "Lonesome Dove," I decided to read the entire series.  And what a marvelous 53 days it was.    

                                              Of course, the problem now is how do I top it?  Let alone equal it?  Can  I? So, I am going back to some non-series fiction until my next big book project, which I will let you know about once it happens.

                                                 I am not a Western movie fan, but I love reading Cormac McCarthy, and Larry McMurtry, and recommend you read them both.  I guess epic Westerns work best for me on the printed page.

                                                    Really, I thought it would take me longer.   So, I wanted to share the joy of this project with you and suggest you try this series.

                                                      Happy Reading, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
