We went to
another classic for the other book club. Is it bad to admit that I am
not sure that I had ever hear about this one before? I had a really
hard time getting into it and was actually really relieved when I
discovered I was not alone when we had our discussion. I think I
actually liked it a little bit more after the discussion, but probably
won't be reading it again either.
The Virginian
by Owen Wister
"Set in the vast Wyoming territory,
this masterpiece helped establish the code of the West and its stereotypical
characters: the genteel but brave, white-hatted cowboy, the pretty spinster
from back East, and villains beyond redemption. The novel is also on record for
incorporating the first known "shootout" in American literature."
