Louis Lamour:
The First Fast Draw
Rivers West
Flint


The good news is that he's never hard to find in a library.

Golly, I've never read Rivers West, but Flint is a big favorite. Catlow and Borden Chantry and, of course, The Daybreakers are also ones I really enjoy.

Ohmyword, I've read nearly all his stuff except some of the later Sackett books and the ones he published under pen names early on.

Just trying to get Jael started on some of more exciting and non-series ones.

Good thought, and I agree. Catlow's certainly got lots of action; Borden Chantry not quite so much. I like Daybreakers mostly just as a stand-alone book anyway. Oh, and Man Called Noon is pretty good as well.

Is that the one where he falls out of the window and doesn't know what his name is or what's happening? <3 that one!

Yes! I love it, too! Awesome hook.

I loan it often to middle and high school boys who aren't interested in reading. Works like a charm.

(I'm a teacher, FYI, not a creep with fascination for boys!)

ROFL. I thought of you as I wandered by the Westerns aisle today. I know they have enough Zane Grey there to bury Goliath with. It was insane.

I'm sure they're bound to have at least one of those. I need to branch out and I've never read anything remotely Western. I lied. I did read one once called "When a Man's a Man" or some such.
