I've seen my fair share of westerns (movies, TV), but not read even one.
Looking for suggestions, in particular stuff that would provide inspiration and motivation to run an old west themed game.
I know Robert E Howard wrote some western stories, I've not read anything of his I didn't like so I thought I'd start there.
Zane Grey, Louis L' Amour and Elmore Leonard are well known western writers, with a number of movies based off of their work. I assume those would also be a good jumping off point.
Looking for advice, in particular from people who have read at least some of an authors work. I expect you don't become a famous author by writing poorly, but then again there is always Dickens to throw water on that theory. Interesting tales, but painful reading.
