In the New Yorker...
Jeff Wrangler:
Glad to hear you are again receiving your print issues, FRiend.
I have allowed myself to fall so far behind. I brought two issues with me to my dad's, and I just haven't felt like reading them.
Front-Ranger:
One should take a New Yorker vacation periodically.
Since I was driving around a lot I picked up two audiobooks from the library. One was a Tony Hillerman mystery set in New Mexico where I was going. Another was a #1 Ladies Detective Agency book by Alexander McCall Smith, set in Botswana. I love the dialect.

Which Hillerman? I think I've read them all in paperback. Earlier this year I donated them to the book room in my building because I didn't anticipate reading them again.
Hillerman himself was as interesting a character as Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee.
Front-Ranger:
Dark Winds was the name of it. I've also read Talking God which was good, but not much of it was set in the Southwest. I got introduced to Tony Hillerman by way of his daughter. She has a new novel The Way of the Bear which is set in the Bear's Ears area.

Talking God was the first Hillerman I read. I've read two of his daughter's novels, but their titles escape me.
