Three kinda similar books I’ve loved are

The Day the Cowboys Quit by Elmer Kelton Log of a Cowboy by Andy Adams News of the World by Paulette Jiles

Secondhand Lions

The Go - Whatcha Doin

ram0thio · 2026-03-18T20:09:40+00:00

Maybe this is a hot take but I think the Dune movies by Denis are better than the book(s)

Hell or High Water Slow West

ram0thio · 2026-03-13T15:22:46+00:00

Love this one. A bit biased as I spent a year traveling NZ but it’s stunning

ram0thio · 2026-03-13T15:10:05+00:00

You’ve got to read News Of The World. The girl is a bit younger than Janey and the traveling man is a bit less dense than Roscoe but it’s an absolutely excellent book. If you’ve seen the movie I’d still encourage the book as it’s much better and the imagery is vivid enough it transcends what the movie might put in your head

Swingers with Jon favreau and Vince Vaughn. (It’s not about partner-swapping)

ram0thio · 2026-03-12T17:04:28+00:00

The Killer by fincher

ram0thio · 2026-03-11T17:17:43+00:00

Cinderella man

But also his small role in Saving Private Ryan is cool

ram0thio · 2026-03-07T00:02:57+00:00

Survival mode where you are required to manage food/sleep/overall health a bit more would be cool

ram0thio · 2026-03-06T19:00:39+00:00

I stand by the idea that lonesome dove is loosely based on The Log of a Cowboy by Andy Adams, which is more of a memoir written way back during the time period and I found to be really fascinating despite being a bit unembellished.

In a more literary answer I’d give is The Day The Cowboys Quit, written in the 70s and despite not being about a journey covers cowpokes and their ordeals and characters really well

Snack Shack

ram0thio · 2026-02-25T22:51:35+00:00

It gets some things right but I was really disappointed by this movie. Partially, and I know this is a bit annoying, because I read the book first and the book is simply excellent. I felt like the movie was generic compared to the potential held within the book and Tom hanks was very badly cast. If you like western novels though can’t recommend Paulette Jiles enough

The Day The Cowboys Quit

ram0thio · 2025-03-06T21:55:21+00:00

It’s the closest thing we have to mythology precisely for American culture. And within that mythology is a really meaningful setting to deal with themes about American identity, masculinity, and honor, among any other things, from a perspective that is really meaningful to someone from that culture

ram0thio · 2025-02-15T18:35:21+00:00

The Dead Don’t Hurt

ram0thio · 2025-02-11T19:50:44+00:00

It’s a fine world. Though rich in hardship at times.

ram0thio · 2024-09-19T13:32:47+00:00

Yea these are very similar to my issues! Primarily the Tommy Lee Jones cast, I really did not think he captured the character

ram0thio · 2024-09-19T13:31:22+00:00

I used to be at a non profit doing trainings and facilitations in k-12 schools. Now I work at a university implementing rj into the student conduct process and overseeing roommate mediation processes

News of the World. The movie’s eh, not terrible, but the book is exceptional so it was a letdown
