Angle of Repose

These two I would not call "genre fiction," as they are considered literary fiction. But they are both set in the west so could be considered "western fiction."

Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour are two authors that are generally considered "must reads" for those interested in reading Westerns.

OP left Goodreads. Moved this request to the "Now we'll never know" folder.

Kris, I had left it in "Suggest books for me" because these types of threads can go on indefinitely, even without an OP because nothing is being solved or searched for.
