Books like Some Can Whistle

One day, when a 21-gun salute marks the death of the greatest Texan who ever told a story, a middle-aged woman in Boulder's going to wrap herself in a body-sized black veil and issue a death wail that will be heard in New Jersey.In short, I love Larry McMurtry.I love him so much, I'm one of the weird, lone crusaders who has set out on an odd journey to read all 6 books of his Houston series, in a year.I am currently at page 2,210 of my goal, with only the last book remaining: The Evening Star.Book #1, Moving On, and Book #3, Terms of Endearment, are two of Larry's finest novels. Books #2, All My Friends Are Going to be Strangers, and Book #4, Somebody's Darling are slower moving, but still very worthy books.But, this book, #5, Some Can Whistle should be. . . Shipped to a bastard of an ex-lover (or your parents, if you hate them). Burned at the stake. Buried in the backyard. Forgotten through hypnosis. Larry, I love you, baby, but, WTF?
