Me, too! My dad and some of the guys he worked with used to pass them around, so there were always plenty of them. Then I hit the jackpot. One of the other altar boys in my church had most of them, and he would bring about half a dozen every week for me. My parents and I were reading like crazy trying to get them done before the week was over. Good thing L'Amour was writing them short in those days.
About five or ten years ago, I picked up "The Mustang Man" again, since I remembered really liking it and reading it about three times back when I was young. Strangely, I didn't get the feeling that I had ever read it before when re-reading it, so there was pretty much nothing that stayed with me over time. That's another way I'm getting more like my father. He just keeps re-reading them, since he forgets the plot after a few years.
