I have never been a Western fan, but found The Virginian by Owen Wister and The Lonesome Gods by Louis L’Amour to be interesting reads. Chaim Potok's book are good also. The Chosen is one popular book of his. As was discussed earlier Connie Willis writes some really good time travel books. My favorite is The Doomsday Book. I read far and wide. lol My favorite religious author is CS Lewis. He covers many a genre. :)

The Virginian is outstanding.

I would suggest Louis Lamour’s Autobiography, “Education of a Wandering Man”. Self-educated, Jack of all trades, and avid reader. Fascinating life. I literally could not put it down.

Another autobiography worth reading is Stephen King's “On Writing”. The first part of the book is pre-accident, the final part is during his recuperation. Two different attitudes. I didn't know he was practically falling down drunk while writing many of his books.
