I think you could safely change that "should" to a "could." There's no "should" in reading choices (in most cases), and the New Yorker is completely optional.
Thanks. I just get so daunted when I see the magazines pile up, and lately I haven't had as much time to read at lunch as I usually do.
But the late Tony Hillerman and Margaret Coel tell good stories. Hillerman was so precise in locations that you could almost follow along with a Google map. Coel's stories have the added pleasure of taking place in territory that I've visited--Lander, Riverton, and along the Wind River Mountains.
Last year I read a Longmire novella by Craig Johnson that he set in the same region of Wyoming as Coel's novels. At one point he has Sheriff Longmire and his friend Henry Standing Bear talk to the "red-haird priest" at St. Francis Mission. That would be Margaret Coel's main character, Father John Aloysius O'Malley, an Irish Jesuit from Boston who is the pastor at the mission. I wrote to Johnson to ask if that was "a tip of the hat" to Margaret Coel, and he replied that indeed it was.
