    Colin Cotterill, "Six and a half deadly sins", the 10th book in the the  Dr. Siri series.  Siri is a coroner in Laos in the 1970s.  Interesting mysteries.

    Let's see.... If you've watched/liked the Ripper Street series on BBC America, you'll love this book. I couldn't help but "see" some of the characters from the show while reading the book.
    It's a period piece about JTR told from 3 different views.  I was struck by the graphic, vivid details of the murders.  I guess, if you're going to do a book about JTR and want to convey the savagery of the event it should be graphic, but it's been a bit over the top for me... Like I said, it was unlike anything else I've read by Hunter (in style, it reminded me of some of the Prey series by Sandford).
    I've got about 100 pages left, so I can't give my final conclusion yet, but I would say that it's worth a read just don't expect a Bob Lee Swagger type story.

    I am reading Where Nobody Knows Your Name by Feinstein, its about life in the minor leagues. Outstanding read, I am rationing it to make it last.
    Concerning Harper Lee's new novel, I probably won't read that based on the reviews I have read. It sounds forced to me. Why turn Atticus into a racist? Whats the point?

    "Scents and Sensibility" by Spenser Quinn.  This is #5 in a series about a dog "Chet" and his human "Bernie" who is a private investigator.  Not fine literature, but after I read "The art of racing in the rain" written first person by a dog, I wanted more.  This series is fun and funny.

    Missoula: Rape And The Justice System in a College Town b y Jon Krakauer.
    I had read Into Thin Air and Under The Banner Of Heaven by him previously.
    Also, I just finished Edge of Eternity, book three in Ken Follet's Century Trilogy.
    Wow, three 1000-plus page books.
    Big project, but great reading.

    I'm about 50 pages in on I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes.  It's completely captivating so far.  If you haven't heard of it, it's about a series of gruesome murders in different locations around the world and I'm guessing they're linked together.  It's supposedly a "flawless plot to commit a appalling crime against humanity and only one man can solve it."

    I was sold on it after I heard it advertised as a mix of Homeland, The Wire, and The Bourne Ultimatum.

    Anyway, thanks for posting your current books.  I've been able to add a few to my reading list as a result.

    @jaydub58 I've read Pillars of the Earth and about 70% so far of The World Without End by Ken Follett.  Both were some of the best books I've ever read.  They're big, but they make for a great stories and characters.

    I agree, Pillars of the Earth is a great read. Keep after the rest of the Century Trilogy. Great follow-up on the families established in the first book.

    I try to dedicate a little time each day to reading. It gets hard to do sometime though.

    I thought I'd read somewhere recently that her new novel was actually written before TKAM, so it's more of a historical quirk than an intentional "change of character".  Not sure on that though.
