I think they didn't like him because he could crank 'em out. My dad loved reading those books.
But I guess if it doesn't take you 10-15 years between novels, you're not relevant.......despite the popularity.
Another guy that writes in volume (used to anyway) was a dude name W.E.B Griffin. Mostly Army stories. Loved them.

Griffin was good. Took you on a tour of South America. And the family connections...

Man, I messed up.

Hazul says, "So, how you makin' it?"
I say, "Man, I'm bored."
Hazul says, "I've got a fix for that."

Anybody have any idea how long it takes to pressure wash a house? Or, an easy dodge?
I think I heard about some house wash stuff on Gary Chapman's radio show. Maybe I'll look into that.

The weekend begins. Wife would like to celebrate our anniversary with a visit to a fancy steakhouse. I’m thinking I really lucked out with this one. 44 years if anyone wondered.

Mr. L'Amour: I read a bunch of his stuff in my teens and 20s. unfortunately (?) he was not in a circle that caught on with the Ivy League critics.

They had no point of reference to even pretend to understand the life philosophies expanded on in his novels.

The drunks and druggies depicted in the other mention book writers.... The literati probably had some "black sheep" in their circle they could transpose in. so they could feel sorry for the broke intoxicated excrement sprawled out in the pages.

I could envision sitting down and having a cup of coffee and conversation with Mr. L'Amour.

The other 2 could not sober up enough to make it to venue, I would also likely feel inclined to punch em in the nose if they did.

My Dad put me on to Louis L'Amour books. They were a particular favorite of Dad's.

I read a few of them, and there are two lines I remember even today:

"Love your neighbor, but keep your hand on your gun while you're doing it."

The other was a running joke with one of the characters......I think one of the Sacketts.

Some thug would tell Sackett, "I'm gonna whip you right down to your socks."

And Sackett would say, "You'll have trouble, 'cause I ain't wearing any"......

.......Then proceed to thrash the crap out of his antagonist.
