If you liked True Grit I’d recommend News of the World, by Paulette Jiles. Yes, there was a movie version a few years ago that was very well done, and kept to the story much better than most film adaptations, but the book itself was an absolute joy to read
Added to my library list! Thank you! Kenn is encouraging me to read Blood Meridian next, but I feel like I have to psych myself up for the brutality of Cormac McCarthy.
I really love the variety of books on this list - I must admit I have never really considered reading a Western before but now I’m thinking I might try one? True Grit sounds very intriguing!

It is a great read, and laugh out loud funny too. The recent film adaptation with Jeff Bridges is great too.
