Finished Gerald Petievich's The Sentinel. Was quite engrossing, then had a strangely hurried and abrupt conclusion.
Just started Scott Phillips' The Ice Harvest. Perhaps it was the late hour, but I wasn't too intrigued by the first few chapters last night.

Finished Cornelius Ryan's The Longest Day. I thought it was an excellent book, very well researched. I like the way he told the story through individual soldiers on both sides involved in D-Day. Next up is Greg Iles Spandau Phoenix. Hopefully it's as good as Black Cross was.

Reading Summer of Night by Dan Simmons. Only about a fourth of the way in, but quite good so far. It's got sort of a Stephen King "It" feel to it, but is, IMHO, written much better, without all of that tired King cliche. Atmospherically, just a whole lot better, and the language flows more smoothly.

Ice Harvest just didn't grow on me after about 6 or 7 chapters. I think I'm going to quit, as I have Lawrence Block's Burglar on the Prowl waiting for me at the library.
