    I've dedicated April and May to almost nothing but English history and English classics, though it's been mostly history 'til this point. I've been nibbling at Dickens.

    I'm about a third through and while I never had any interest in crew, now I do. Even his descriptions of how the shells are constructed is pretty fascinating. It reads like a novel.

    :) A favorite. Michael Jan Friedman was the first Trek author whose name I put to memory so I could find more of his work. I just pretend Enterprise never happened sometimes. :lol:

    Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. I'm a little over a third of the way through, which means that most sensible novels would be thinking about ending right about now. ;)

    But you thanked me for it ;)

    Personally, I'm not sure if I'll get to Seveneves. What a title, though!

    ^^ It was a fantastic novel. I was just being funny. :rommie:

    I'd love to read more of his stuff, but the investment in time is rather intimidating when there's so many other things I want to read.

    I've just started reading the The Witcher-books - which I will have to put aside when my copy of Prince Lestat arrives
    How I have managed to miss that Anne Rice wrote another book about some of my favourite fantasy-characters I'll never know.
