    Louis L'Amour's Last of the Bread is a fantastic page Turner.

    I think my father must have read every Louis every printed!

    I would have thought for sure you would have listed biographies- you know, books about Waylon and Willie and Johnny, LOL.  But hey, why not!  I have eight books by or about Willie Nelson alone.  And they're all great (especially The Tao of Willie which is like a Bible to me.)

    Yeah I guess I needed more than one choice.  I've got a lot of biographies to.
    I'm not a big fan of Louis l'amour's short story Cowboys & Indians books.
    The Quick and the Dead is good, and Conager is very good.
    But Last of the Breed is a standalone.  By far Louis L'Aamour's best work have you read it?  His detail is so vivid you can feel the wind blowing in your face.  The main character in last of the breed travels across Siberia trying to escape his captors.  I couldn't put it down, I read it about 10 years ago I still think about it once in awhile.  While I was reading it I thought that some of the songs from into the wild would go good with this story as well.  Last of the Breed would make a great movie I wish someone would do it.
    (Side Note). I'm going to Noblesville Indiana June 23rd For Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival.  Featuring Willie Nelson and Friends of course, The Head and the Heart, Old Crow Medicine Show and more... I'm stoked. B)

    I read Brionne because a friend once used that as a nick-name for me.  (It is also, oddly enough, the name of a Pokémon , lol). That particular book did not do much for me though I would not dis an author based on one book alone.
