in reading and plenty of time for it. Right now I'm into "The Cuckoo's Calling" by Robert Galbraith (pseudonym of JK Rowling) and 2/3 of the way through Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy.

Checked our local library's on-line catalogue and they have all three books you mentioned so I should have no problem getting access. Thanks for the recommendations!
