Westerns, Pulps, and all that other stuff I need to read in June!

What's it going to be next month? Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour for certain, but Clarence E Mulford? Max Brand? Owen Wister? Emma Ghent Curtis? And What is John Jakes playing at?
June on the Range is the reading event for June, where all and sundry dive into a pile of westerns, and come up smiling.

Plenty to keep you going there Gavin. Let's hope it's a great summer. Happy reading.

Let’s hope so, thanks!

Van der Post is a fabulous writer. I keep wanting to return back to him at some point. Great to see him mentioned.

I have enough to last me until December, just looking at one a month. I’ve been to some of the same places he mentioned, although I visited 30-40 years later the descriptions still stand up.

What a great collection of westerns! I know nothing about this genre at all, but it does look like you've acquired an incredible batch!

[@GenreBooks23]

Time will tell. I did an English *and American* Literature degree, but the Western was never even mentioned.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

@@GenreBooks23 no, it wasn't mentioned in any of my studies either.

I’m doing the same with Zane Grey. I have The Young Pitcher for Summer of Sport and The Call of the Canyon for June on the Range. I’ve got some lovely cheap Western mega packs from Kindle for 78p and a job lot of second hand Louis L’Amour. Looking forward to a summer of fab reading. Brilliant video 😊

Thanks Debs - I’m intending to use the “summer of sport” to understand baseball. Between your pitcher and my short stop we will, as they say, have all the bases covered.
