i assume you've read louis l'amour books?  you might want to check out shane.  if you haven't checked him out, pehaps you should.  he is one of the best selling western writers in some aspects for good reason.NathanHawkins

I don't really like to categorize it, but if I had to choose, I'd put it under "ownage".MoonSpoon

although not a traditional western, consider the gunslinger.NathanHawkins

Westerns?!? WESTERNS. The west is bad. I prefer to read about the exciting and just lives of communistic citizens in such great tales as "A Day in the Life of Ivan Solinivitch" - the pages practically brim over with excitement.sonicare

I absolutely love the Sergio Leone westerns but i havent read them. I'm not sure if the same magic of a western movie can be captured in a novel.

Try Cormac McCarthy. He'll blow your little mind wide open. Best. Westerns. Ever. Start with All the Pretty Horses.MahlerFreak

In the general sense of movies yes, but the basic attraction of westerns for me are visual and audio experiences.. Sweeping camera angles and original scores. Extreme zoom up on character's faces and great one liners said in an authoritative voice. I just don't know if the written word can convey the emotions i feel when watching a Western.steeeeeeveperry
