I think Lonesome Dove would be my answer. Honorable mention goes to East of Eden.
I guess I would pick Lonesome Dove for all the reasons in OP’s post, but also Gus reminds me of my only grandpa that passed away a few years ago. I’m always a bit wary of people who like ‘required reading in school books.’ I’m not saying that reason would make swipe left, its just that I don’t trust that you really like to read. Or maybe that’s what they genuinely like to read, which is also fine. Obviously, those required reading books have that status for a reason.
