What am I failing to read at the moment?

Well, M read Hellboy: Unnatural Causes so I can at least take that one back read. :)

I'm halfway through the Lee Strobel and half-way through 6 Impossible Things Before Breakfast.

Compulsion and The Jupiter Myth lie untouched as yet, but I have brought them companions in their weary wait:

Mary Queen of Scots by Margaret George,
R is for Ricochet by Sue Grafton,
Agatha Raisin and the Murderous Marriage by MC Beaton,
The Iron Lance by Stephen Lawhead
Between Planets by Heinlein (which I fancy I've read before actually, in retrospect).
