James Talarico👍 Recommends
…recommending a Texas classic novel that captures the spirit of the state
“For the fiction book, my favorite book is Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry, maybe the most famous and beloved Texas classic. Texas has gotten a bad rap recently around the world for the extremism and corruption coming out of our government. But if you want to see what's beautiful about our state, that spirit of friendship that I mentioned earlier, read Lonesome Dove. It captures the spirit of Texas better than a lot of other works of art. And it's such a great book. Y'all have a blast reading it. Won't be able to put it down.”
