Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry | Reading With Dad (Ep. 2)

We're back for Episode 2 of Reading Lonesome Dove With My Dad! This week, we're discussing Chapters 7–13 of Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry. I'm 40 years old and only recently discovered my love for reading. My dad, on the other hand, has loved Lonesome Dove for years. So we decided to read it together, a few chapters at a time, and get together to talk about the experience. In this episode, we share our thoughts on Chapters 7–13, discuss the characters and story as they develop, and compare the perspectives of a first-time reader and someone returning to a longtime favorite. This isn't a formal literary analysis — it's a father and son enjoying a great book together, sharing reactions, and seeing where the conversation takes us. Reading along? We'd love to hear your thoughts on Chapters 7–13 in the comments! Please avoid spoilers beyond Chapter 13. Subscribe to Chapter 40 for more Lonesome Dove discussions, fantasy and science fiction reviews, and my journey into reading at 40. #LonesomeDove #LarryMcMurtry #BookTube
