There are just too too too many to make a list or try to. And I wish I could live a few hundred years longer than normal, to read everything I still I would want to read.
Every excess is fine as long as you don't overdo it.

Thanks.

J.T.      hillerman wrote murder mysteries  set on the navaho indian reservation.

"skinwalkers" is about  the indians beliefs in  witchcraft... shapeshifting.

HILLERMAN was a terriffic story teller all but one of his stories was set in navaho nation. he became one of my favorites :)

The Safehold series by Jim Weber
A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin
The Wild Card series by George R. R. Martin

Throw in just about anything by Clive Cussler as well as Tom Clancy's flagship novels (like Rainbow Six and Debt of Honor), and that's a pretty good reflection of my tastes.
