All The Pretty Horses

By Cormac McCarthy.

Although I readily acknowledge that this book is much better written than the only other Western I've read, I still liked The Pumpkin Rollers better.

However, I'm very appreciative of McCarthy's sparse prose.

The Pumpkin Rollers

By Elmer Kelton.

The first Western I've ever read. I actually quite enjoyed it. A lovely coming of age story.
