With the exception of Mr. Murder, I have read your list as well! DEan Koontz can not write a bad novel!
No but I have gotten the feeling that I have read the same books a few times if you know what I mean.
series that i'm waiting for the rest of the books to come out:
pratchet's discworld
jordan's Wheel of Time
goodkinds Sword of Truth
martin's song of fire and ice
feist's krondor sagas
I also have one of the collections of Doyle's Holmes stories i'm (re)reading, and Ross' Unintended Consequences is my bathroom book.
"Cry of the Halidon" by Robert Ludlum
LOL! Every author I've read, has led me down that rode. I believe they all have their basic story lines.
Like I said, Dean Koontz is a good rainy day read: simple escapism-type pleasure reading.
Just finished Variable Star by Robert A. Heinlein and Spider Robinson. Next in line are the Savage Tales of Solomon Kane by Robert E. Howard.
Toasted. Possible burnt if you don't pay attention.
Just finished "One Nation Under Allah" and "Inshallah" both by Laura Mansfield, aka freeper StillProud2BeFree. Just started "Charlie Wilson's War" by George Crile.
I always liked Crichton and I almost picked up "Next" yesterday but I was so disappointed with "Timeline" and feeling that perhaps he'd "jumped the shark" I was hesitant.
A friend gave me “State of Fear” but I haven’t read it yet.
Let me know how you like “Next”.
I did buy “Lovely Bones” by Alice Sebold because the story line seemed so compelling and different and another friend recommended it. I’m going to start reading it tonight.
The Letters of John and Abigail Adams by Abigail Adams, Frank Shuffelton, and John Adams (Am thoroughly enjoying this; it makes the trying times of the American Revolution seem very present) 
The World Crisis, 1911-1918 by Winston Churchill and Martin Gilbert
Me too!
That's just odd, brother.
The Truth about Muhammad, by Robert Spencer.
A translation of Kant's Critique of Pure Gorilla.
I'll try to remember to send you a review. I am enjoying it so far - it is similar to "State of Fear" (which I would highly recommend and deals with environmental science/global warming) in that it takes an issue, in this case rapid advances in genetics, and looks at the science, politics, and economics involved.
I recently finished 2 other books that I would recommend - both by an author named Harlan Coben: "Just One Look" and "Tell No One". He is not the best wordsmith I have ever read, but the books are fun and the plots he comes up with just grab you.
America Alone is next on my list, as soon as I can get to a Borders to redeem a gift card.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes:
Flood, Fire, and Famine
in the History of Civilization
by Richard Firestone, Allen West, and Simon Warwick-Smith
Odd indeed! Odd Thomas is a very odd fellow.
Getting ready to start The Alien Years, by Robert Silverberg.
