Just started Salem's lot, and picked up H.P Lovecraft's complete works (one of those giant Barnes and Noble collection books) along with Sun Tsu's Art of War and The Divine Comedy a few days ago -- looking forward to getting to those after I read my last *counts* 4 more Stephen King's left. . . and the other half of Four Past Midnight (only read The Langoliers and Secret Window; Secret garden so far)
I'm taking a little break from the sort of thing I usually read and have decided to plow through a handful of Edgar (King Kong) Wallace's detective novels. There are a lot to choose from, but right now I'm reading Jack O'Judgment. After that at least 2 of the J.G. Reeder stories.
Mostly this is because I spent this month's book budget (and a good chunk of next month's too) at pipesandcigars.com and these books are in the public domain and are therefore delivered free to my Kindle.

Just finished Girl With the Dragon Tattoo yesterday morning. Great story!
Now going to have a pre-dawn cup of coffee and start one that has been on the list for a long time...A River Runs Through It
It's just too bad it is 0 degrees outside or maybe I'd venture out for a early morning pipe too!

Stò leggendo un libro tipo giallo poliziesco italiano Montalbano -Gli arancini di montalbano- scritto da Andrea Camilleri , è molto buono :puffpipe:
mi piace pure Simenon.

True History of the Kelly Gang - Peter Carey.
It is an excellent book; eminently readable. The author's vision of Ned Kelly, Aussie bushranger, really comes to life. I'm only a third of the way through but its going really well.
By the same writer, I'd also recommend Jack Maggs. It's a reworking of Great Expectations featuring a robber returned from Transportation in Australia to nineteenth century London. It was quite good.

I totally agree, unclearthur. I have not read a great deal about Ned the man but this book is going to drive me to research the factual side of things a little more. It's been an addictive read so far. I have always been very interested in outlaws and highwaymen, rapparees and gunslingers. Fascinating characters from a more interesting time, all with colourful stories and varied motives for their ways.
