Top 10 Western Books



Steve Dancy Tales
 Reading Cowboy Statue, Azle, Texas

American Cowboy magazine has listed the top 10 Western Books, plus a few also-rans from the same authors. Many of these novels were made into classic films, which shows that good storytelling can be adapted to multiple mediums.

By the way, I searched through the list twice, but never found any of the Steve Dancy Tales. I'm sure this is an oversight that will be corrected in the next list. 


Actually, I believe they compiled a fine Top 10. I've read 8 of the 10 ... an omission I'll correct shortly.

Here's a Novel Idea

Novel Posters has created posters from the text of famous novels. This one is for The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is not only decorative, but it includes the entire text of the novel. When you return from seeing the latest Hollywood take on this classic, you can read the book ... probably standing up if you've framed and mounted the poster already. Who said e-books have killed print formats?
