What are you folks reading this winter?
I'm a die hard Stephen King fan and have read all of his, including 11/22/63. I also like Dean Koontz and have read just about all except his book that came out last month.
Over the years, I've gotten most of my book recommendations from the folks here! I especially love series where the character is the focus of multiple novels. The past year or so, I have enjoyed:
I'm planning to read Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series after I finish with Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta books. I also have the Discworld series on audio, but haven't started it yet. I hope it will be easy to get into. I couldn't get into Wicked -- too wierd. I really love series because I read the books back to back and it's easy to get into a new book when the characters are familiar.
I nearly never "read" a paper book for fun, but listen to unabridged audio books on my office commute and also before bed. I read A LOT that way and it feels like bliss to be read to. Plus, a favorite guilty pleasure is to curl up on the couch with H while he watches TV and I listen to a book on my iPhone
What are you all reading? What would you recommend or not recommend?

- Charlain Harris --all of her Southern Vampire series as well as her Harper Connelly series -- LOVE!
- Jeff Lindsay -- all the Dexter Books -- even better than the Showtime series!
- Kathy Reichs -- all the Tempe Brennan books and both the Virals books -- really enjoyed the Tempe books
- Patricia Cornwell -- just now on the 4th Kay Scarpetta book and will read all the others -- loving the books and icing on the cake is the geographic setting is HOME to me
- Johnathan Tropper -- read This Is Where I Leave You and laughed out loud. Read his others and thought they were also good, but not as good as the latest.
- Kathryn Stockett -- The Help (LOVED IT!)
- Robert McCammon -- Swan Song (loooooved!)
- Gregory Macquire -- Wicked (tried it, but couldn't get into it)
- Lee Smith -- Black Mountain Breakdown (did not like it, but it is one of my mom's favorites)
