We are going to TX, NM, AZ, UT for 6 weeks next month. I started reading “Westerns” to get in the mood. I love Larry McMurtry and Zane Gray. I decided to branch out and read Texas John Slaughter by William W. Johnson. What a piece of s&*t. I had to keep checking to see if I was reading “The Perils of Pauline” or a Greek Deus ex machina drama. I can see how he wrote 973 books. It would be quick and easy to knock this type of dribble out. <I give myself 4/10 for my rant>
Please suggest some Western authors that write quality books (like McMurtry).
