I'm not sure why I keep falling behind in this thread but I haven't updated it since April 21. Since then I have finished:

DragonFlight by Anne McCaffrey - The first of the Pern books (in published order) which is a good nostalgic read, but nothing exceptional at this point. Awful formatting for this copy of the e-book.
War of Honor by David Weber - Book 10 of the Honor Harrington series. I enjoyed most of it but skipped large sections of data dumps and other mind-numbing details. I hear the next one is better so I have hope.
Patriot Games by Tom Clancy - Second published Jack Ryan book and another old favorite.
The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth - I hadn't read this one and am glad I did but it felt fairly clunky in places. I think that is because of the perspective used but I'm not really sure. Overall it was good though.

Next up is Bill Bryson's African Diary which will be my first read by him. I am not expecting much given why this was written (and the reviews) but it was available immediately at my library and I am tired of reading on my phone, Day of the Jackal was e-pub only so I couldn't read on my Kindle.
