Awesome read......love Dean Koontz. You should read the Jane Hawk series.... start with The Silent Corner
Sycamore Row...John Grisham goes back to lawyer Jake Brigance, his character from A Time To Kill, I believe his first book in a case where a white landowner in Mississippi who becomes wealthy late in life commits suicide and changes his will the day before he dies, cutting out his children and leaving almost the entire 24 million dollar estate to his black maid and the ensuing battle for the estate.
Also just finished Ill Be Gone in The Dark, the book by the now deceased wife of comedian Patton Oswalt about the hunt for the Golden State Killer who was a prolific serial rapist and murderer active in the 70s and 80s in California and was just finally caught a couple of months ago through refined DNA testing.

Just finished the latest Tom Clancy book by one of the approved writers....Power and Empire.....good plotline especially for the long time character of John Clark.....the book had flashbacks and cues from Without Remorse.....all in all a very good book.
I am chomping at the bit for a new novel by either Martin Cruz Smith or Ken Follett in the future.

Well, I just recently read "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos", just to see what the fuss was about.
Kind of bored me, since it's just peddling easy answers that I figured out on my own early on; although I respect not everyone would have the acumen to pick up on those answers themselves, Peterson does articulate himself well to explain it for them.

'Baboons for Lunch and other Sordid Adventures' by James Michael Dorsey
From the preface: Now I'm willing to concede that storytelling is most likely not the world's oldest profession, but I believe it to be a close second.
Most of us know what the oldest profession is generally considered to be, but I would wager the first storyteller was the fellow who just finished utilizing that profession and wanted to brag about it to his male friends.

Really enjoyed Keith Richards book, its always better when the story is told first person, i was amazed at how much i was able to relate with and learned some things that are very useful.

God Gene. F. Paul Wilson. Got halfway. Reads just like all his other books. Useta enjoy his books
Someone mentioned in a different thread the book Sub Rosa by Amber Dawn. It's a great read and something totally different for me. BUT the subject (sex workers) is of total interest to me and Ishtar now. It's sort of based in Vancouver. With a cpl of mentions of the city's landmarks and/or districts. It's fiction but based on a lot of facts with the industry.
