Check out Shane, the Western novella. It if it was in my power I would REQUIRE the reading of Shane in every public school in the country. Yes, it is a "Western" but it is also MUCH more and transcends that genre. I liked the movie but it just doesn't compare to the book.

Actually, my middle school english class read that book. Maybe it was elementary school, I forget. I liked the book. I realize the Alan Ladd movie is well regarded in the western genre, but I have never seen it.

I was just thinking how interesting that the days of the "Wild West" are also the days of the Victorian era.
