Sorry for the lack of blogging today. NewMexiKen was busy reading two of Elmore Leonard’s westerns, Hombre and Valdez Is Coming. If you like westerns, or like Leonard’s mysteries, you’ll love these and his other western novels written early in his career. They’re all available in inexpensive paperbacks.
And yes, Hombre was made into a movie with Paul Newman, Richard Boone and Martin Balsam.
“Valdez is coming” was also made into a movie with Burt Lancaster.
