Could anyone recommend any books you think I should read? It could be a series or just a single book. Provide a brief synopsis if you don’t mind. Thanks.

What do you like?
@Mamapolo2016 I’m not really opposed to any genre, aside from romantic.

@Native Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel (the era in prehistory when Cro Magnon man emerged as distinct from but still sharing the earth with Neanderthal man. Ayla, five yr old Cro Magnon, loses her family in an earthquake and is rescued and adopted and raised by a Neanderthal clan.
I found it enthralling.
Lonesome Dove - Larry McMurtry
Two retired Texas Rangers decide to make their lives more interesting by collecting a cattle herd and driving them north to Montana. You'll like it.
Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey
Science fiction series (I think 28 books in all beginning in the mid-60s) set on a planet called Pern where fiery thread falls from the sky and consumes everything organic it touches. The residents of Pern semi-tame enormous dragons who of course breathe fire and flights of dragoms and their riders defend Pern from the periodic scourge of thread.
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hussein, Afghani author, which chronicles the life of a young boy who is seized by a common Afghani passion, kite flying. The tumultuous events in Afghanistan beginning with the toppling of the monarchy and subsequent cataclysmic developments are seen through the eyes of the boy, his family and contemporaries.
Highly recommend them all. If you like them, I'll give you some more.

@Mamapolo2016 I’ve seen the lonesome dove movie, several times. I enjoyed it. I’ve never read the book, though. Is it the typical case of the book being better than the movie? Thanks for the recommendations.
