Blood Hollow by William Kent Krueger
Book 4 in the Cork O'Connor series. I didn't have a post for this but I know I've read it.
Boundary Waters by William Kent Krueger
A Cork O'Connor mystery/adventure story. In this one, O'Connor searches in the wilderness near the Canadian border (Lake Superior) for a girl named Shiloh who, it turns out, is being hunted by some bad men. It's a bit formulaic but well done nonetheless. This is a good series.

Mind, Language and Society by John Searle
Written in 1998, Searle develops an analysis of social structure in terms of his philosophy of mind and language. Searle is always an interesting read even if I usually have problems with what he writes.

The Law of Innocence by Michael Connelly
I got this for a quarter at a library book sale. The latest in the Mickey Haller "Lincoln Lawyer" series, it's an excellent courtroom mystery.
