MOVIE QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“If she was here I'd probably be just as crazy now as I was then in about 5 minutes. Ain't that ridiculous? . . . Naw, it ain't really. 'Cause being crazy about a woman like her is always the right thing to do. Being an old decrepit bag of bones, that's what's ridiculous. Gettin' old.”

Really enjoyed this one. Certainly an epic. Thought Augustus McCrae was hilarious. Lorena’s story was grim and the last few chapters were pretty bleak though
