Anyone read Louis L'Amour?

Wetzel was a frontiersman who actually existed and Zane Grey made him larger than life in his books. Books with him in them would have probably taken place in the Ohio Valley region.

Jon has those leather covered ones too. When my dad died, I got all his LL books, so we've got quite a collection between us.

Brings back good memories, when I evangelised back in the day, that was my form of entertainment between places to preach or services. I think I read at least 50 or more that year.

I told Elizabeth, it connects my soul to a good manly place, boots, leather, guns, horses, beautiful country, a little bit of American History, I love it!

Anyone here like to read, Louis L'Amour?

I think that Chick Bowdrie is one of my favorites characters.

Well, I am not a man and I like reading Louis L'Amour books. I also like Zane Grey.

I've read a lot of Louis L'amour. I enjoy them if that's what I'm in the mood for. I prefer British Lit.

If you like L'amour you should try Max Brand

I prefer murder/suspense novels...I haven't a LL book and probably won't. Just because that ain't my style !

I love LL's books, although it's been quite a while since I've read one.

I love the way he was so detailed in his writing. In fact, when we made a cross-country trip to the west coast a few years ago, I felt as if I had already been there. The countryside was just as LL had described it in his writings! I think he was also pretty accurate in telling some history, although he wrote fiction.

I can't see using my time to read fiction.

If I am going to read I would prefer to study. This is purely a personal preference of my own... but it is how I feel about it.

I respect your preference, but I have learned a LOT by reading fiction. A lot.

Plus, it can be a little mini get-away.
