For Sci-Fi I would also recommend _A Scanner Darkly_ by
Dick.
When Gravity Fails - George Alec Effinger is a good cyberpunk
pi novel.
Only Forward - Michael Marshall Smith starts out like a
straight forward detective novel for the first third then
gets pretty heavy into the Sci-Fi
For westerns I would recommend some newer ones like:
In the Rogue Blood - James Carlos Blake Wildwood Boys - James
Carlos Blake Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy All The Pretty
Horses also by McCarthy, although the first in a trilogy it
is a self contained book.
