    This is about the only comic book 'hero' I can get behind. Wolverine ain't bad.

    Yes it is. The American macho man routine he portrays is a little overdone in this series, but that’s my only criticism. I think the writing and directing is better than most of the other marvel shows I’ve seen on Netflix. It’s definitely worth a watch

    This popped up and I thought 'here is Deadwood 2.0, I bet Dave would like this.'

    I'll give it a look, thanks.

    My dad had what seemed to be a library of Zane Gray and Louis L’Amour.

    I haven't read any Zane Grey.

    Dave's surprisingly hardcore moral code lends itself to a fierce enjoyment of L'Amour books. I'd like to have this observation proved true.

    My dad said he liked Zane Gray more because he was more descriptive in his writing

    My all time favorite is Last of the Breed, but the setting is Siberia. I'm not sure what would be best for you to read first, what best captures how well he can relate adventure in the 1800's American West.

    My son and I just finished The Lonesome Gods, and that one would be a good one to start with. Representative. 1850's-ish Los Angeles/Mojave and SW USA.

    I'm currently reading Jubal Sackett, which some call his best work, but it takes place in the 1700's or something like that. It is badass.

    I think about your appreciation of Deadwood, etc., and L'Amour would never drop a c-bomb in his works. He was raised in 1910 North Dakota and has a deep and abiding respect for wildlife, the austere western US geography, and Native Americans. In fact it is this iron (?) morality that made me think of you. Some kind of weird congruence. The way you respect life. He's like that.

    Anyway, my personal recommendation is Last of the Breed or Lonesome Gods, but I think you should research a little on your own. Personally I think he got a lot better toward the end of his run, so I'd look toward 1980's and recent novels.

    tl;dr -- Last of the Breed as a work of ficiton, Lonesome Gods as a great SW USA cowboy novel
