The Art of Fermentation by Sandor Katz.  Got a crock for Father's Day and I'm going to start my first batch of sauerkraut soon.

Remington ... by Chuck Waldron.

In the middle of an Erik Larson run - Dead Wake, Devil in the White City, and In The Garden of Beasts.  Few more to read to complete run here.

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.

Oh, poopies.  I thought you were gonna make us all some beer.  
I do like sauerkraut, though.

Just finished Weedman by John McCaslin. Fascinating story about the drug smugglers in the 80s. Just started Doc Holliday by Gary Roberts.

Just starting Nemesis Games, the fifth book in James S A Corey's Expanse series. A great Sci Fi series. Read The Martian a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed that as well.

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.

The carniivores manifesto...of course..

The Count of Monte Cristo.  Friday I finished the last book in the W E B Griffin Corps series.

The story of Mohammed, Islam unveiled. A real eye opener

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?

Invisible by James Patterson

Cookbook_Chip

"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.

Just started Citizen Vince by Jess Walter.

The Federalists Papers- Alexander Hamilton, James Madison & John Jay.

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.

Who has time to read these days? Between work, egging and this forum... I'm tapped out.

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.

Just wrapped up Fearless.

Navy seal started as a great kid, turned drug addict, and then a great family guy and the top of the SEAL community. Real tear jerker.

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.
