Agreed. And you can read them in order & see your version of characters in each book.The books, particularly Lonesome Dove itself, really develop the characters out much more than the movies had time to. If you've seen the movie that many times and have the characters fixed in your mind, you will enjoy the greater depth of the book. The movie stayed pretty true to the book, including a lot of character's lines word-for-word, and it isn't hard at all to hear Woodrow and Gus "speaking" as you read.
They are long books, but if you have the time I think you will enjoy them and that they won't spoil the movie for you at all.
