I also loved Master's of Atlantis which makes fun of the Masonic Temple and is just hilarious. <br /><br />Norwood and Gringos are OK but not up to True Grit standards. Most of these stories are a basic template of someone who is forces into taking a defining trip of a lifetime and all the characters they meet and have to deal with. Master's of Atlantis does not stick strictly to the template.GWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06211311979468845038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660453162125942814.post-52753253034167185912011-03-26T11:14:14.873-05:002011-03-26T11:14:14.873-05:00And, the Coen Brothers tried hard to stick with th...And, the Coen Brothers tried hard to stick with the book in their remake.

You picked some good quotes - ...It's me again! You picked some good quotes - here are a couple of mine -when Rooster says "Who all is in there? Speak up and be quick about it!" The reply, "A Methodist and a son-of-a-bitch!" And also "I call that bold talk from a one-eyed fat man!" And "No grit? Rooster Cogburn? Not much!" I'm with you - forget both movie versions and read the book!

I was so impressed with True Grit (the book) that I read it twice. How have we missed Portis all this time? Now I intend to check out everything he has written - love his style and am glad you do, too! CharlenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
