I was so sad when I saw the news on Monday. I started a post that I just finished tonight about Mr. Hillerman. What a great man. I do agree that some of his earlier works are the best. My favorites are Skinwalkers and the first Jim Chee novel... but any of those in that era are just great. I re-read them often and they always stir my heart with his vivid descriptions.<BR/>Take care,<BR/>TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-58958092469709317262008-10-27T15:07:00.000-04:002008-10-27T15:07:00.000-04:00Susan, I'd suggest you begin with his earlier work...Susan, I'd suggest you begin with his earlier works -- A THIEF OF TIME, SKINWALKERS, and TALKING GOD, are, IMHO, probably his best work. <BR/><BR/>The most recent books have been shorter and lack the really lovely feeling of the earlier ones. They're still worth a read -- but not quite as special.

I will have to pull them out and finally read them. Best way to remember an author when they pass is to read or reread some of their work. He has what most writers aspire to: immortality through his work.Susan M. Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02925109035133133812noreply@blogger.com
