I'm reading The Jedi Path: A Manual For Students of the Force by Dan Wallace.
Just finished Deep Water, a Cliff Hardy novel.
Cliff Hardy is a Sydney private eye, the series has been going for decades and moves nicely with the times. Good hardboiled PI stuff. Worth tracking down.
Next... continuing Helen of Troy as well as Pirate Latitudes, Michael Crichton's last novel.

New Stephen King short stories. Full Dark, no Stars. Wonderful as always.
I am currently reading Secret Daughter: a mixed-race daughter and the mother who gave her away.
It is autobiography of June Cross who was the daughter of aspiring white actress and a well-known black comedian. June was born in 1954. Her parents' relationship ended when June was still a toddler. When she was four years old June's mother gave her to a black couple to raise because June's skin colour had darkened and her mother could no longer pass her off as white. June would visit her mother but her mother would pass her off as a niece.
June's mother later married the actor Larry Storch.

"Billions and Billions" by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan.
Just started Uncle Tom's Cabin, something which you hear so much about in school but are never actually instructed to read. I am liking it very much so far, in terms of writing style. It flows very easily.

I'm reading the book "The Wedding". It's very interesting.
I am reading Survival: the inspirational story of the Thredbo disaster's sole survivor by Stuart Diver.
Stuart Diver was working as ski instructor at Thredbo when he, his wife and 17 other people were buried in an avalanche. Stuart, who was in bed when the avalanche hit, was buried under a concrete slab, in freezing conditions, for 65 hours. His wife actually drowned in the first few minutes after the avalanche. Water gushed around them and, trapped underneath the bedhead, she was unable to raise her head.

I met Cormac McCarthy today, He came into my bookstore. I asked him if he was the author or just shared his name. Turns out he was the author.
I am reading Made in America by Bill Bryson
Recently finished the TOS novel "Dreams of the Raven" by Carmen Carter.
Now I'm reading the Captain Future novel "The Lost World of Time" by Edmund Hamilton in its German translation "Im Zeitstrom gefrangen", and also the current Penguin007 edition of "Moonraker" by Ian Fleming.

Just finished "Patton's Unsung Armor in the Ardennes".
I'm about halfway through with The War That Came Early: West and East by Harry Turtledove. Once I finish that I will be sporadically re-reading The Time Machine by H.G. Wells and The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli until July 11th when The War That Came Early : The Big Switch also by Harry Turtledove comes out.
^^ There are certain novels that I like to re-read certain parts of and The Time Machine is one of them. I love the part at the end where the Time Traveler is in the very distant future. It has a wonderful feeling of distance through time that brings an odd sense of peace; it reminds me of "Exile of the Eons" by Arthur C Clarke and "The Big Front Yard" by Clifford D Simak.
Just finished rereading Logan's Run and its two sequels by William F. Nolan. I picked up a single-volume trade paperback of the trilogy in a used bookstore about ten years ago, and the thread about the remake of the film over in Science Fiction & Fantasy made me think of them.
For Christmas I got a copy of The Fall by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. It's the second book of a trilogy, but I want to reread the first book to refresh my memory before I start it.
