Location: UK		Hi Lisa!. Not sure about June on the Range. Its been a long time since I read one of my all time favourite westerns,Owen Wister's The Virginian'' 50 years ago I acquired a wonderful 1923 edition,deckled edges ,crammed with awesome line drawing illustrations. I just loved it. No matter how many times I read it I thrilled to the famous quote ''When you call me that,SMILE''. And its still a shock when Steve is judged as a horse thief. Wow. That book was the first major cowboy story taken seriously as literature rather than as a penny dreadful sort of thing. But its a very long book,and I have so many commitments for June its not feasible.. If I can squeeze them in I may read some of Robert E Howard's cowboy tales with a supernatural tinge,or H P Lovecraft's ''The Mound''. I still have a bit of a hangover for SF horror in May!
Hey, maybe I could squeeze in Lonestar Planet. I have it in a H Beam Piper collection. Thanks for jogging my memory! :0)
