Sometimes her books are hard to plow through but usually worth the effort. <BR/><BR/>I just finished David Baldacci's "The Collectors" An interessting read.<BR/><BR/>I have enjoyed Elmore Leonard's books for quite some time now.

I think I commented once about the character in "Skinny Dip" who stole all of the roadside memorials he could find and erected them in his back yard.<BR/><BR/> His name was Tool and he drove a big Lincoln and looked for crosses and flowers by the side of the road.<BR/><BR/>You are right about the reader needed a well developed sense of humor.

Also, I have always been intrigued with American Indian culture and their belief system. Hillerman incorporates joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.com
