I hated her taste in all things so I avoided reading this out of principle. Now that I read your review I figure that if given an ultimatum of Moby Dick (man vs. fish) or Shane (man vs. stump) I’m going with Shane since at least it will be short.

I’m sure Sarte and Camus loved westerns: existentialism to the max. But I also like Joe’s wife’s pies, the perfect symbol for what Shane is losing by being a loner: great pie.
