pickEven though I bought the paperback back in 1967 as a high school freshman I just got around to reading it. This book set in 1880s Nevada is a taught story about mob justice and a mob mentality that overwhelms a group generally honest men. The parallels to current times in the way some grab hold of an idea and refuse to listen to counter arguments made reading this book 55 years after buying it made it all the more relevant. An excellent read.
pickThis should be on a classic list for college. It reminded me of The Lord of the Flies. Without laws or a governing unit, people can turn into animals. They become a pack. Follow the alpha instead of thinking for one's self. A very strong book with a very strong message. It is not just a western. #USReads #Nevada
Trigger Warning for lynching
so-soI was reading this one periodically throughout the whole #readathon, including during my late dinner of bbq chicken pizza (which I can't remember when the last time i had that). Seems fitting that the book i started the readathon with is also my last completed book. Really enjoyed this day with my books! @DeweysReadathon https://greatmorrisonmigration.wordpress.com/2021/04/25/completed-24-hour-readat...
