9. Finished, "Still Life with Crows," by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston

"A small Kansas town has turned into a killing ground. Is it a serial killer, a man with the need to destroy? Or is it a darker force, a curse upon the land? Amid golden cornfields, FBI Special Agent Pendergast discovers evil in the blood of America's heartland. No one is safe."

I enjoyed it, and now have to find the others in the series.

Halfway through, "Never Flinch," Stephen King's latest.

"Intertwining storylines—one about a killer on a diabolical revenge mission, and another about a vigilante targeting a feminist celebrity speaker—featuring the beloved Holly Gibney and a dynamic new cast of characters."

Very good, so far. But I'm a little bit prejudiced. I'd read King's grocery list.

Do well with your surgery, Hermetic. Please keep us posted.
