I've voraciously devoured several dozens of L'Amour's novels, several more than once, some in rapid succession (as fast as I could finish one and start the next one), but even to me, he wasn't quite a demigod.

When you've read him as much as I have, his personal fetishes and idiosyncrasies stand-out like specks of tar on pearls.

"Good enough" isn't.

Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.
