Subject: RE: BS: Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove series
I enjoyed reading all four books, though it's been a long time since I read them. Comanche Moon was the last one published and it came out in 1997. Michelle and I were talking last night about rereading them in chronological order instead of the order they were published. That means starting with Dead Man's Walk, my least favorite of the four.

I don't recall the books as being depressing – realistic and unsentimental but not depressing. It should be interesting if I feel differently rereading them after more than a decade.

I can't speak too much about the TV. I saw bits of Streets of Laredo and it looked pretty good. I watched most of Comanche Moon and thought it was well done.
