Neat. First of the Thalia [muse of comedy and pastoral poetry]: A Texas Trilogy series, all set in the same north Texas town.

1961: Horseman, Pass By – adapted for film as Hud
1963: Leaving Cheyenne – adapted for film as Lovin’ Molly
1966: The Last Picture Show – adapted for film as The Last Picture Show

And then The Last Picture Show double features as the first of a pentalogy centered upon Duane Moore.
