Have you ever read
Shane? Yes, it is a "Western" but it also transcends just being a Western. I think this is a very important book. When you read it, you will find out why. You folks who are happy with this choice because you think it is a Western, will be very surprised that it is much more than just a Western. And you folks who are disappointed to find out that it is
just a Western will be pleasantly surprised for the same reason. This is why I chose
Shane to lead off the reading list. It isn't what you think it will be.
Oh, and if you think you know what Shane is all about because you saw the move, you are wrong. And, as I stated, I wanted to start off the assignment with an easy read but one with an important message.
I'm in.
Is Shane as good as my favorite western by Zane Grey, Last of the Duanes, published post-humously after the author's death?
