I know Sanderson always lists Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay as one of his favorites too.

@samm8190 Год назад

Lonesome Dove is one of these books that's slowly getting more and more hype. Brian Lee Durfee highly recommends it as does Mike from Mike's book reviews and Matt from Matt's fantasy book reviews.

@2ToRamble Год назад

Just saw Matt post something about it on IG - it really does look like it’s gaining booktube attention l, that’s great

@ShelfCentered Год назад

I was going to say just this, well played! Been on my list forever and it makes sense for King cause of the Dark Tower

@umphfr3ak 11 месяцев назад

Lonesome Dove is great but starts a little slow. Once I got about 1/4 in, I was hooked. Got me on a western kick for about a year. Highly recommend.....Haven't seen the 90s TV series with Danny Glover but heard it's great.

@brandonkelleher2651 10 месяцев назад

Joe Abercrombie has mentioned that it’s one of his favorite books as well.

In the "bookshelf" video (it's on RU-vid and I think premise is Joe is showing what's in his bookshelf) Joe Abercrombie said that Lonesome Dove was one his favourite books as well. You kinda see some of the influence in first law universe books. Just a nifty tidbit which I found interesting. Great video as always.

@Noyb.265 9 месяцев назад

There's two r's in Larry McMurtry's last name there, genius. Mick-Murr-Tree. Lonesome Dove is also probably the greatest traditionally mythological portrayal of the American West ever written, and, debatably, ever filmed. For what the settling of the American West was really like, read Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.

Blurb from Lonesome Dove. "If you read one western in your life, read Lonesome Dove!" One of the best. Would recommend 200%. Just finished it start of this month! Truth and history of nearly everything are also awesome reads.

@baskinthestory Год назад

The short history of nearly everything is so good. One of the best non-fiction books ever, just gives such a great overview of the world, the universe and well...........everything!

@2ToRamble Год назад

So many of these books are now on our TBR. This book and Lonesome Dove especially!

@Movall877 Год назад

I personally love Lonesome Dove. I first read it when I was probably 14, yet the story has stuck with me ever since.

@2ToRamble Год назад

It’s definitely our our to-read list now. Really curious about it

@briannak.wealder3556 Год назад

The (sound)editing of this video was top notch! XD Jane Austen's Emma is in my Top 3 Favs. If you guys ever read it, I hope I will be able to find out what you guys think about it. ^^ Also, I NEED to get my hands on that Terry Pratchett book! I've never read anything other from him except the Good Omens... but you guys totally sold me on trying more of his writing. :)

@2ToRamble Год назад

Small Gods by Terry Pratchett is a must read as well! (A lot of his books are lol) But can’t recommend Small Gods enough. And of course the one mentioned in the video is going to be such a fun read I imagine

@battlestarkoala Год назад

It's interesting that Emma is a favourite ... I much prefer Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion ... You may have seen Clueless at some point - one of the many film adaptations of Emma that's flying around :)

@jonsadenwasser4246 Год назад

Lonesome Dove is great! There’s a 4 episode miniseries with Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Danny Glover, Diane Lane, Steve Buscemi, etc. it’s pretty good! I would definitely check it out

The singer of that Donkey song sounds suspisiously like Austin... if he wrote this, then I vote for more Austin songs in the future because that was glorious

Actually, it is no surprise that Stephen King would pick a Western, since his Dark Tower series is essentially a western/portal/contemporary fantasy.

@DobyWan Год назад

I mean who doesn’t want to see the potatoes now?!

@captainnolan5062 Месяц назад

Steven King wrote THE Fantasy Western - Read his "The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger" and sequels.

@devildriverrule111 Год назад

Lonesome Dove is a monster of a book but it is one of the greatest books I have ever read. I recommend it to people who read all sorts of genres because well written characters will always be interesting.

@marco.savini.128 Год назад

Sanderson has also said multiple times that he has read Dune something like 13 times

@janefan1216 Год назад

Emma is a different kind of Jame Austen book. Even Austen herself said her readers would hate Emma. And, you'll have to take it in the time it was written, bc the romance is...odd...by current day standards. Good book, but, not my favorite. I do like that after the incidents she goes through, she does grow and mature from them.

@2ToRamble Год назад

Interesting - would you still highly recommend giving it a read?

@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD Год назад

Yes

@szfo6090 Год назад

After reading Lonesome Dove it became my #1 book that i've read. It truly is amazing, just ahead of Boy's Life and Flowers for Algernon.

@2ToRamble Год назад

We must read this book

@jweather66 7 месяцев назад

Flowers for Algernon was the book that got me back into reading. It is such a page turner, and what a classic. I didn't know there was such lowkey psychological science fiction.

@presterjohn71 Год назад

I'm British and even I've heard of Lonesome Dove. It is not fantasy it is a classic Western. I'm sure I saw a TV series based on the book back in the 90s too. The more I watch this episode the more apparent it becomes that neither of these two guys has actually read many books so their perspective on what they have read is very limited.

@guglich Год назад

When it comes to fantasy and sci-fi, these guys do know their stuff. They have read a ton of sci-fi and fantasy. But westerns, they don’t read much or talk about much. So give them a break when they have never heard of Lonesome Dove. Sure it’s one of the most popular and epic westerns of all time, but why would you expect them to know of it when their massive bookshelves are filled with sci-fi and fantasy?

@TheAyeAye1 6 месяцев назад

Pratchett was fantastic, but I'd really recommend you stop at UNSEEN ACADEMICALS (book 37). That was the last one that read like his work instead of increasingly bad fanfiction. It wasn't his fault, but work he did in his last five years was just depressingly bad compared to what he turned out when healthy.

@VicRibeiro777 9 дней назад

So, I know this might get disputed, but going on a goodreads rating (although sometimes helpful) is generally a bad Idea. I've read amazing books that had lower ratings, and then VERY high rated books, that was meh at best.

@2ToRamble 7 дней назад

Very fair

@Beech27 Год назад

Lonesome Dove is to American mythology (The West/frontier), the quest narrative, and fictional explorations of male intimacy, what LOTR is to its native narrative milieu. The “American Tolkien” is a farcical title anyway, but if we have to name one it makes more sense to “go West” than to look for someone writing European-esque fantasy.

@2ToRamble Год назад

Did you like the book? Also what does ‘native narrative milieu’ mean? Austin commenting here - my vocab isn’t the best 🤌

@Beech27 Год назад

@@2ToRamble Love it. I guess what I mean to say is that Lonesome Dove tangles with American stuff how LOTR does with English stuff, and has a couple other similarities.

@MattGrimmett Год назад

This video made me cringe. How do you not know about Lonesome Dove? And how do you not look it up and know that it's a western and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel? Smh.
