New Year's Resolution to Read!!

by Buni1957 on 17 December 2009

I first saw the movie "Appaloosa" directed by and starring Ed Harris along with Vigo Mortensen. When I noticed that the story was from a book by Robert B. Parker, I was intrigued. I had read some of the Jesse Stone novels and loved them, so I thought, what the heck, I am going to track this book down.

After reading the book and loving it, I noticed that there were some other books containing these characters. I bought "Resolution" and "Brimstone" at the same time and was very happy I did so.

These books are fast reads, super fast. I am not the fastest of readers, but it only took me a few hours to read each one rather than a few days. I guess it is because these men are truly men of few words. They don't often mess around with their feelings. Life simply "is" for them. Life involves, getting a job, maintain the peace, stay alive, search for a loved one, make choices based on the people forcing an issue and make them fast.

If you want a closer look into the Wild West and how towns got their starts, then get all these books about Virgil Cole and Edward Hitch. You will adore them!!!

And kudos to Robert B. Parker for his thoughtful creation of these men and their life situations.

I would love to read more about their journeys and lives!!

BRING IT ON!!!!!
