TimBone mentioned McMurtry, which would have been my next choice to pick up a long line of books. But if he liked that, I'd recommend Cormac McCarthy and Elmore Leonard. Both deal with sparse American settings and terse characters with wit.
I found out about McCarthy after both No Country and The Road became movies. I've went back and forth on whether to read something from him because I loved No Country but hated The Road.

Got a book recommendation for me?
