Great review Mike! True Grit sounds great - I love it when a book cleanses the palate AND thoroughly grips you. A match made in heaven. I always find thrillers/true crime are the best palate cleansers.
Thank you for such a fine review. Portis had a much deserved moment earlier this year with the publication of hid collected works, fiction and nonfiction.
Great review as usual, Mike. Putting this on hold immediately to bring along as I visit my in-laws 500 miles away for Thanksgiving -- seems like a book that can take you out of yourself, at least for a little while. (I had no idea it was so old!)
The general idea of this book is not usually something I would chose for myself but you make it sound damn enticing! Also did not pay attention to the 2010 Cohen brothers movie version but I really should have. A++ gifs this week too !
Unfortunately, I have that The Haunting of Hill House edition with Netflix sticker 😂 I hate movie tie-ins too but that was the only copy I could find 😂
I just read True Grit this summer. It’s the perfect novel.

I loved this book. I have never watched the movie, but I think I will. Thanks for your great review and Happy Thanksgiving to you and Donna!!
