I was surprised SHANE wasn't on the list.

Probably not classy enough.

0. Yesterday I finished WEST TEXAS by Al Sarrantonio.

Kevin R. Tipple said...

I have not read any of these he suggests. I have read all of his Kevin Kerney mysteries. Good stuff.

Jeff Meyerson said...

We had to read Laughing Boy in high school. It was about as light a read as Giants in the Earth. Well, maybe a little lighter.

Steve Oerkfitz said...

I would have chosen Blood Meridian and Warlock over a couple of these.

Dan said...

Haven't read a single one of 'em. Ben wasting my time with
THE BIG SKY
THE LAST HUNT
THE HELL-BENT KID
THE SEARCHERS
THE AUTHENTIC DEATH OF HENDRY JONES
SAINT JOHNSON
etc. etc....

Missing Glendon Swarthout's The Shootist.

Riders of the Purple Sage?
The Virginian?

I guess they're too old to mention...

For that matter, True Grit?
