One Canadian, One Englishman, One Cheesehead, One Smart Aleck, Some Fiction

Fiction

Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris. "A Sookie Stackhouse novel." I ordered the DVD version of that HBO show based on this series of books.

NonFiction

Always Looking Up: the adventures of an incurable optimist by Michael J. Fox. Fox retires from acting and has to find something else to do with his time.

My Booky Wook by Russell Brand. Crazy tales by the English comic about drug issues, a bizarre father, general outrageous behavior.

Unlikely Disciple: a sinner's year at America's holiest university by Kevin Roose. Student from Brown University does a study abroad semester at Liberty University in Virginia. Has a good time meeting and learning about different people.
[EDIT: the author dude, or a pal of his, just googled his way over here from a Brown University IP address.]

Coop by Michael Perry. Perry is on to chickens and pigs now. Tales of his family life, his childhood, and a listing of his many boneheaded adventures and mistakes.

Large Print

Loitering with Intent by Stuart Woods. Woods's ghost writers sure are busy.

The Perfect Poison by Amanda Quick. So are Quick's.

Tea Time for the Traditionally Built by ALexander McCall Smith. The television series is supposed to be pretty good.

Deadlock by Iris Johansen. So an E in Johansen signifies what, Danish? An O is Norwegian or Swedish?
