Last year, <\/span>we launched our Substack newsletter, <\/span>Dying Breed<\/span><\/i><\/a>. Thanks to everyone who\u2019s already joined us there.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t subscribed yet, now\u2019s a great time. This summer, I\u2019m inviting Dying Breed readers to join me in reading my all-time favorite novel: Larry McMurtry\u2019s <\/span>Lonesome Dove<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been following the site or podcast for a while now, you guys know I love this book. It’s the American <\/span>Odyssey<\/span><\/i>: sprawling, heartbreaking, and hilarious. When you\u2019re done reading it, you feel like the characters are your friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’ve always wanted to read <\/span>Lonesome Dove<\/span><\/i> but needed a little push to do it \u2014 this is it. If you\u2019ve already read it and want to experience it again with fresh insights and the chance to discuss it with me and other readers, this is the perfect excuse to dive back in. <\/span><\/p>\n
