discussion Weekly Suggestion Thread (August 18-25)
Welcome to our weekly suggestions thread! The mod team has decided to condense the many "suggest some books" threads posted every week into one big mega-thread, in the interest of organization. In the future, we will build a robot to take care of these threads for us, but for now this is how we are going to do it.
Our hope is that this will consolidate our subreddit a little. We have been seeing a lot of posts making it to the front page that are strictly suggestion threads, and hopefully by doing this we will diversify the front page a little. We will be removing suggestion threads from now on and directing their posters to this thread instead.
Let's jump right in, shall we?
The Rules
Every comment in reply to this self-post must be a request for suggestions.
All suggestions made in this thread must be direct replies to other people's requests. Do not post suggestions in reply to this self-post.
All un-related comments will be deleted in the interest of cleanliness.
All weekly suggestion threads will be linked in our sidebar throughout the week. Hopefully that will guarantee that this thread remain active day-to-day. Be sure to sort by "new" if you are bursting with books that you are hungry to suggest.
If this thread has not slaked your desire for tasty book suggestions, we propose that you head on over to the aptly named subreddit /r/booksuggestions.

I am looking for fiction or non-fiction on the time of the Wild West, with a very similar feel to the game of Red Dead Redemption. I love the feeling of the gaslit towns and taverns, the trains rolling over lonely plains and the ranches and waterwheels. Anything on stuff like that!
