I'm a big nerd and I've read a lot of books of all different kinds, and I'm an English teacher.
Tell me what you like or what you're looking for and I'll recommend something I think is good
Also, fun history fact, this comm used to be called c/books until I started posting poetry on main every day in protest of there not being a literature comm. Direct action gets the goods comrades

Butcher's Crossing was pretty good, as are basically any of the Mcarthy border trilogy.
Butcher's Crossing
Border Trilogy
Warlock, by Oakley Hall
The Big Sky and The Way West by A.B. Guthrie
The Ox-Bow Incident, by Walter van Tilburg Clark
Lonesome Dove, by Larry McMurtry
And seconding Butcher's Crossing
I don't have good recommendations for this. I'll second McCarthy, but those are also kind of anti-Westerns
