Last year, I put on my bucket list that I wanted to read all of L’Amour’s books at some point. I put it on my bucket list because the only books, aside from The Bible, that I ever saw my granddad in Frisco City ever read were Louis L’Amour’s novels. I knew that if he liked them, they had to be good.
It would be an understatement to say that L’Amour was a prolific writer. In all, he wrote 89 novels, two nonfiction books and 14 short story collections. What follows is a complete list of his books, taken from his official Web site, www.louislamour.com.
