Yes, you should read a palate-cleansing book in between. Nothing by Cormac McCarthy, mind you. He makes McMurtry read like a ...I was going to say fairy tale, but many of those fairy tales are brutal!! Telegraph Days is a relatively sunny book by McMurtry. I finished LD thanks to a power outage that kept me away from the computer. Now, I'm reading Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. I have lots to say about LD, though, if people would still like to discuss. Talking helps me process it all.

Congrats on finishing LD! Sure, I'd like to hear your reactions!
I'll say that Dead Man's Walk was a good book but LD itself, IMO was in a slightly different league. I really loved LD. Both books are page-turners. But, the pacing of LD is so much different.

Heya,
I'm here to report that I'm gearing up to read Comanche Moon soon. It's next on my "to read" list. I'll admit that I'm slightly intimidated to start this book after the kind-of overwhelming-ness of Dead Man's Walk. At the same time, I'm excited to get back into this series. And, I'm still determined to finish the series.

Hey, Amanda! Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Comanche Moon.
Actually, I was just coming to this thread to say that American Movie Classics (AMC) will be showing the Lonesome Dove mini-series in four parts beginning this weekend:
