OK:

"True Grit" by Charles Portis

"Shane" by Jack Schaefer

"Lonesome Dove" by Larry McMurtry

>> No.1380603

go with Blood Meridian
No Country for Old Men and The Gunslinger aren't really westerns in the traditional sense.

No Country for Old Men is not a real western BUT I think it has a kind of story that a hardened, no nonsense man would enjoy. It is a great novel that actually makes you think and is great to reflect up. I couldn't believe it was written so recently after I read it; it felt as if it was a long-time classic.

Blood Meridian if he loves deep involved reads that blow your mind, are filled to the brim with endless amounts of violence, and he doesn't like anything happy to happen, ever.
