Yes! I used to have over 100 of his books. I am not ''star struck'' by any means and I can only think of one other celebrity that I would walk across the street to meet. Of course I know that Mr. L'Amour has passed. I would love to have met him. I use to be somewhat of a cowgirl and I could just imagine being at the places in his books. He was so descriptive! I loved how he would add so much insight into historical events too. He had experienced a lot in his life.
The only other celeb. that I would like to meet is Robin Williams.

Oh yes even though I am a female. I enjoyed them and use to read them after a male friend picked them up the day they hit the book store. I loved some of the different books by him also as they were not all westerns. He is/was a quick refreshing read.

Hello,
I enjoyed his books. Actually my favorite book was "The Walking Drum" about a fellow who takes off from England in the 1300's and travels with the caravans along the silk and spice routes of Eurasia.
Cheers,
Michael

I used to read L'Amour's tomes back when he was writing them. I'd usually read each new one when it came out.
I've never been back to reread them, though I do still occasionally read some of the other western writer-contemporaries of L'Amour.

I saw the film Riders of the Purple Sage and absolutely loved it. It starred my favorite actor Ed Harris. I haven't read any of his books but I would like to.

I did have, and after reading them all until I remembered what was comming next, I gave them away. I will wait and year or two and start over again. He was probably the best western author ever.

YES! I ENJOYED HIS BOOKS AND HIS PASSION FOR THE WEST. HE VISITED MOST OF THE PLACES HE WROTE ABOUT. MY FAVORITE BOOK OF HIS WAS ABOUT A MYSTICAL HERO IN LONG-AGO EUROPE, HOWEVER. LOUIS USED TO LIVE ON THE STREET AND SLEPT IN BOXCARS BETWEEN VOYAGES WHEN HE WAS A SAILOR. I NOW LIVE IN SAN PEDRO, CA, WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF WHERE LOUIS USED TO TAKE A NAP. I MISS HIM AND THINK OF HIM OFTEN.

My dad has the complete set as well. I read most of them when I was a kid and enjoyed them.
