My summer '17 books so far are: Don Winslow - The Force Lee Child - Night School John Sanford - Extreme Prey David Baldacci - The Fix John Grisham - The Whistler
There's also a series by Laurie R. King set in the Holmes world that I remember quite liking. The main character is a younger woman he marries when he's older. I think Holmes is usually kept in the background one way or another. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
Currently reading /listening to the 3rd book in the Misadventures of Max Bowman by Joel Canfield. Laugh Out Loud Funny! especially if you listen to the audio book which is narrated perfectly. Max does makes very liberal use of 4 letter words but in a dry humorous way IMO. I think the ebooks go on sale regularly for 99 cents on Amazon as he is a relatively new writer.

The Selected Stories of Patricia Highsmith With a Foreword by Graham Greene Just about finished with the section entitled "The Animal-Lover's Book of Beastly Murder" If you enjoy short stories you may want to give this book a look.
Just finished "Captain Blood: His Odyssey" by Rafael Sabatini. And surprisingly enough, the 1935 movie of the same name stuck pretty close to the book.
Free Women Free Men by Camille Paglia. Wow. Just. Wow. I am blown away by her mind. I cannot find an argument with her and do not wish to.
"A War Like No Other(How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War)" by Victor Davis Hanson.
ATHEISM for DUMMIES While reading it on my commute to work on public transit a person on the train asked me if I was an atheist. I replied in my best dead-pan tone, "No, but I'm a dummy."
I know the publisher would never go for it but I always wanted to write: The Complete Idiots Guide to Books for Dummies.
Beginning again. This time books in hand. (First time through the 5 novels, I listened to them on CD)
Since I'm HERE all week, I brought in "On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill. If I finish it(only 96 pages) before the end of the week, I'll bring in the book I'm reading by Victor Davis Hanson.
I listen to audiobooks on my commute to and from work. I listened to this book a couple of weeks back. It was terrific. Right now on my commute I'm listening to Hero of the Empire by Candice Millard, about Churchill's capture and escape in the Boer War. Pretty interesting.
For my reading at home I recently finished Grant Takes Command by Bruce Catton and started Gunfire Around The Gulf by Jack Coombs. The Coombs book is a history of naval warfare in the Civil War with more time spent on the action in the Gulf of Mexico, particularly New Orleans, Mobile, and Pensacola. Good book so far.
Just started The Ideal Team Player by Patrick Lencioni. Working on a promotion at work sanding off some rough edges. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
