I heard so much about Lonesome Dove and slogged through it. It was as sour, hateful, and misogynistic as any book I’ve ever read. I got to that miserable ending and actually threw the book across the room and left a dent in the wall, I was so angry I had read it. I can’t imagine what your opinion would have to be of women to enjoy that book, but I keep hearing guys telling me it’s the best thing ever written. Ugh.

I hd despised Dickens in high school but was stuck on a long bus trip and had nothing but a Tale of Two Cities. Wow, that is not like his other books! Loved every minute of it, cried at the end.
