Finished Wild Justice by Phillip Margolin. Not bad, but very predictable.
Now I'm reading Gerald Petievich's The Sentinel.

Currently reading Lawrence Block's The Burglar on the Prowl, the latest in his Bernie Rhodenbarr series. Block, like Donald E. Westlake, is so good at doing the light comical novels, as well as the gritty, noir stuff. [ This message was edited by: EPlayer on 2004-05-03 13:22 ]

"Indwelling" is a good book,MC...in fact...they just keep getting better. "Armageddon" shocked me a bit...and the end is the worst cliffhanger in the series...but i want to read the last one very badly.

Tried to read Greg Iles' The Footprints of God but just couldn't get into it, though I've enjoyed his other novels.
I'm reading David Lindsey's The Rules of Silence now. Excellent, and would make a great movie.

Just finished reading Natsuo Kirino's Out. Started off pretty good but lost some momentum toward the end. Contemplating Lee Child's Killing Floor next.

Did decide on Lee Child's Killing Floor. It took a bit to get used to his very clipped descriptive style, but I'm over a hundred pages in, and it's very good. Always great to find another series to catch up on. Jack Reacher seems tailor-made for a movie franchise.

I'm about 50 pages from finishing Matthew B. J. Delaney's Jinn. Pretty good for a debut novel, and feels like reading the equivalent of an action/suspense movie. Has a "Saving Private Ryan" meets "Relic" and "Predator" feel to it.

Re: Jurassic Park: I'll second that -- the book is much better than the movie.
Re: Sword of Truth series: I'm waiting for Faith of the Fallen from the library. It's a good series.
I just got done with the "Song of Fire and Ice" series by George R. Martin. He does an amazing job of keeping a story interesting, while telling it from the viewpoints of the 10-15 odd main characters he has. He is an anti-Victorian though (by which I mean those current-day authors that eschew Victorian prudishness in preference to dragging your mind and imagination through every kind of mud, muck, and mire just to assert "realism").
Design Patters by "The Gang of Four"
Refactoring by "Martin Fowler"
Psalms (English, Greek, Hebrew, and eventually Arabic)
Feynman's Lecture Series (physics)
The Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill
Various primary sources of church history (e.g. The Shepherd of Hermas, The Martyrdom of Polycarp, The Epistles of Barnabas)
