Just finished re reading Jean Auel's 6 volume Earth's Children. I've had the first 3 volumes for some time, read the last 3 from the local library, then recently found them on Ebay, so I now have the full set.

Highly recommended, set in Europe during the last ice age, exceedingly well researched. First volume was published in 1980, the final one 2010.

Duma Key by Stephen King. A prolific writer mainly of the horror genre. Obviously a well read man judging by the references one finds scattered about his books.

I was watching a programme we have in the Uk called Countryfile, it was on last night. It was filmed in the area of Pendle, and they talked about the story of the witches, I must see if I can find the book, it sounds very interesting.
