It's Been a Long Time...

...since I've read a book by Louis L'Amour; I'd forgotten how good a writer he was.

End of the Drive. I hadn't read this one before, it's a short story collection, one of them a William Tell Sackett story; you L'Amour fans know what that means.

I had the great fortune to get L'Amour's autograph the year before he died, it's one of my treasured possessions.

When I've been reading too much news, especially of the mean-spirited political sort, escaping into a Louis L'Amour novel is a great antidote. I recommend it heartily to anyone.
