Oh, definitely. That is perfectly true. It just made for a rather dispiriting read. :/

You should make a list of all the books mentioned because I somehow missed the name of the book that went downhill after 200 pages and then I listened to the rest of the discussion hoping you would mention it again but no luck 🙂 I don’t know how to rewind on this little player-thingy!

WHAT BOOK WAS IT I REALLY NEED TO KNOW!!

My only other Western was Lonesome Dove which was amazing.

Also, I have seen The Fall! My best friend and I loved the trailer so much we traveled to an arthouse theater on the other side of D.C. to see it on a big screen. I didn’t end up loving the movie, but I did love aspects of it like Lee Pace and the little girl, and the lovely visuals.

Hahaha, you can read The Slap but I do not think you will enjoy it because it is THE WORST. I am the Gin one of the Jennys, the one not currently in India. 🙂
