EDITED TO ADD: In sorta similar news, I started the very last "Spenser" novel by Robert B. Parker yesterday after over three years of reading them at a pace of one a month or so. I think this is either book #40 or 41. Good, simply written detective novels with some great characters and stellar continuity. Glad I've had them in my life and I'll be a little sad when I get to the last page of this one knowing there's no more.

I just finished a pretty good oral history of all the hangers on in Elvis Presley's life and a long overdue re-read of Albert Camus' The Stranger. In addition to the Parker novel, I'm reading Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John le Carre, a Bukowski poetry collection, and something else that I can't remember right now and I'm too lazy to get up and find my Kindle to see. It must not be very good whatever it is since I still can't remember after a few minutes of thinking on it.

What's everyone else reading right now besides Harry Potter fan fiction?
