Good review. Very fair. I started out quite dubious and ended really enjoying it.
Amazon right?
This is exactly why I am taking my B&N card direct to the store on release day for Finders Keepers.
No, I ordered mine from Subterranean Press.
This morning I received an email saying my package shipped, but it wasn't specific what website it was from??? The email was from a William Schafer? I'm thinking it was from Sub Press (the only other website I've ordered from recently is Amazon) but I'm not sure. kingricefan
EDIT: a quick Wikipedia search told me William Schafer is a founder of Sub Press. Which means my book is on the way. Yay!!
Yeppers- it's your copy of The Border!!! You should see it within the week.
Anyone else here a Larry McMurtry fan? I started reading him because I loved Terms of Endearment. What I discovered is that the novel was quite different from the movie (surprise!). As a writer he is wicked funny and then suddenly serious and dramatic. I love that contrast. Laughing and crying at the same time.
Anyhow, after reading most everything else of his, I've started reading The Berrybender Narratives. Kind of like how I put off reading the Dark Tower until I had read everything else SK, this is what I've done with McMurtry.
After reading These Is My Words - thank you, skimom2 , I really wanted another book about the early American West.
The first one is Sin Killer, loving it so far.

I have a copy of Lonesome Dove in my TBR pile (if I ever get to it!).
Last night I read The Ballad of Ballard And Sandrine by Peter Straub. What a disturbing little tale it was. Very different and very disturbing and very, very good.
Peter Straub is a very disturbing writer. Read "Bunny is Good Bred," In Magic Terror, dedicated to Stephen King. It made me queasy.
I remember reading that one but not even what it was about. Oh, dear.....
It's about the great breadsticks at Olive Garden! Would I lie to you?I remember reading that one but not even what it was about. Oh, dear.....

I picked up Bag of Bones for a reread the other day, just as a filler until my copy of Scarlet Gospels lands (still no sign, I have since bought the kindle version to sate my need for all things Barker) and I have to say that I am hooked. It's another of King's books that I originally read a long time ago, but I don't remember enjoying it this much. Great story, great characters and just the right amount of creepy! Loving it!
Well, you will surely get your copy before I will. I get this from Amazon this morning:
We now have delivery date(s) for the order you placed on February 05, 2015 (Order# 109-3008248-1365829):
Robert McCammon "The Border"
Estimated arrival date: June 05, 2015 - June 08, 2015
Sheesh.
I am reading The Scarlet Gospels by Barker and The Nurses by Alexandra Robbins.
Sin Killer was pretty good. Lonesome Dove is definitely his best. Pretty much everything he's written after his breakdown has been hit and miss.
My beloved novelist had a breakdown too? I'm off to google. God bless him.
I'm well into The Scarlet Gospels and just started Lincoln, by Gore Vidal.
