It's an interesting read. I'm at the point where he is incarcerated at San Quentin (circa 1930) and the cells don't have toilets just a bucket with some lime in it.
 
I’m on a road trip in the southwest US and picked up a couple of books lying around the house I’ve been meaning to read. The first was Eddie Rickenbacher’s autobiography. The second was the western novel “Shane” on which the movie was based. Great performance by Jack Palance as a cold blooded gun for hire, he was nominated for an Academy Award early in his career (1953?) for that role.
 
I think maybe watching that movie early on I was too young to pick up he was doing the wife. Should do a rewatch.

He definitely wasn’t doing the wife in the book or movie. You got the impression that there was an attraction between Shane and the wife in the book though.Great movie and I don’t even like westerns.
