Cowboys or Samurai? Can’t decide which to read first. Can’t decide whether i’m more in the mood for the adventure of Lonesome Dove or the intrigue of Shogun (i’ve been super interested in both for a while now). I know they’re entirely different books, and i plan on reading both but i want to be enticed to read one or the other NOW! Narrow it down! Convince me to read one or the other.
PS. I don’t care there’s a series coming out for Shogun i already know that’s why i bought it but i want to know literary reasons why i might prefer one or the other (i will still read both, just need a fiction break from my fantasy/scifi binge of First Law and red rising series respectively lol)

I feel your pain. I read them both one after the other, but can’t remember the order. I’d pick shogun for the action pace, and Lonesome Dove for the quiet read. Both are going to make your reading experience quite memorable.
I’ve recently come to the conclusion that this kind of internal conflict is a waste of time for me. Just pick one. If it’s really a great book you’ll get into it either way even if your mood matched the other one more to start out with. Now when i get an urge for a specific book or genre i just start reading that. If it’s not hitting the spot you’re free to switch and come back to it later.
