Somehow I've never read any Larry McMurtry books. It's weird because I really like Texas as a setting for novels and I practically grew up on Lonesome Dove (the miniseries, not the book).
I was looking for a small town Texas novel and after much back and forth chose The Last Picture Show.
As one would expect when reading about a small Texas town and the teenagers-come-adults that live in it, the novel was full of melancholy. The people all took care of each other, but as a result had that ability to hurt one another more deeply. Growing up is hard. Sometimes teenagers are dumb.
