In this instance, I don't understand the usage of 'wall banger'. Considering the genre we're talking about, maybe ignorance is bliss

What do you consider 'real westerns'? I read westerns from time to time and am always looking to expand my horizons.

I've found I really enjoy the books written by a group known as the Piccadilly Cowboys (British writers in the sixties who wrote books that had the grit and tone of the spaghetti westerns). I also like some of the modern western writers, Peter Brandvold, Charles G. West.

I've never read a Louis L'Amour or Zane Gray book.
