I picked up "This House of Sky" in the mid 90's because I loved the title. Then I was so drawn in to the story it was amazing. I have since read four more of his western set books.

I love this quote.
"John Berryman once wrote that a mark of modernity is that a person can now live his or her life without ever having the chance to know whether he or she is physically brave."
