If you want to read one of the better westerns, try The Lonesome Gods or Comstock Lode. If you want a great adventure novel that's not a western, try The Walking Drum, set in the 13th century. And if you want a wonderful memoir of a reading life, try Education of a Wandering Man. And don't be ashamed - I had no idea who Gaskell was until a year ago, either!
