I SHIFT GEARS


 

Well, it’s my damned blog, and I can do anything I want with it.  Right?  Well, I have grown a little tired of watching old movies in the evenings, then writing snarky little reviews.  Instead, I have set myself to reading ALL of Tony Hillerman’s  Leaphorn-Chee novels, in the order they were written.  So far I have consumed the first two, and am half way through the third.  There are about a dozen more to go – so, no Golden Oldies for a while.  But, of course, I may change my mind.  Like I said already, it’s my damned blog.

In case you never have encountered the Hillerman books, they are mysteries set in the Navajo reservation of Arizona/New Mexico and contiguous scraps of territory.  Leaphorn and Chee are Navajo cops.  The adventures Hillerman weaves about them are, to my tastes, highly entertaining, and quite absorbing.  Additionally, we Belligani can learn a lot about Navajo culture and 4-Corners geography by reading these books.  The first one is called Blessing Way.  Read it, and you’ll be hooked.

  2. Already hooked! A wonderful part of the world. I bought a couple of them at a thrift store not that long ago. I wonder where they went?

  3. I loved those books! It's been a long time - maybe time to read them again.
