So... Clyde, are you going to join the book club?
David In Indy:
I've seen the series. It was very good btw. I never read the book though. I wasn't even aware there was a book. The next time I'm at the bookstore I'll look for a copy. Even if the book is out of print, we have some used bookstores here, and I might find it there, although I'd rather own a new copy if at all possible.
I'm curious as to how much the series deviated from the book.

Heya David! It's not out of print. And, you can usually find really pretty inexpensive mass-media format pocket sized books. That's the kind I have... it's shaped mostly like a brick because it's so long.
It would be great if you could join the book club!
And, yeah, this is the book for which McMurtry won his Pulitzer Prize. So, it seems to be the key work to read by him. Or at least probably the main one to think of first (at least for me) when it comes to comparisons with BBM.

I've never been in a book club before, so I don't know how they work. (Other than buying the book and having snacks and drinks every few weeks. :laugh:)
But I've never read "Lonesome Dove" and this sounds like a great excuse!
