So What Are you Reading?: Generations

In the world of ST, I am back in the timeline of the 22nd century reading the nine Enterprise post-series novels. I am currently about 40% through Kobayashi Maru (a reread).

Outside of Tolkien's letters, I am also enjoying Judi Dench's recollections in Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent. It's essentially a series of recorded interviews where she talks about the characters she has played in various Shakespeare productions and various general Shakespeare topics.
 
Lamentations. And apparently (at least as of last year), somebody actually does sell the entire book, printed on a single sheet, and sealed in plastic, as per the "laminated Lamentations" idea I've suggested more than once in the past.
 
My March 2025 reads (books read completely, or finished reading, in March 2025:

“Original Sin Companion” (2015) by Jason Aaron, Al Ewing, Brian Michael Bendis, et al. (Read individual comic book issues that are in the collected edition via Marvel Unlimited digital service)

“Star Trek: Lower Decks— Warp Your Own Way” (IDW, 2024) by Ryan North and Chris Fenoglio (Public library book checkout)

“The Knight Rider Companion (Abridged Edition)” (Black Pawn Press, 2021) by Nick Nugent (Public library book checkout)

“Batman: Resurrection” (Random House, 2024) by John Jackson Miller (Public library book checkout)

Brings me to eight books read in 2025 GoodReads 2025 Reading Goal: 75 books (11% complete).

So I never read the New Frontier novels in order - I read a few of the crossovers that featured them, but didn't go at the series in anger. The recent news about Peter David prompted me to rectify that and I've started with the collection of the first 4 short books in the series. Very entertaining so far. This is a follow up to going back to another series written a quarter century ago, Millenium, and I'm enjoying the books written so close to actual TV and movie production. There's some characterisation and such that jars with the later novelverse "way of writing things" but honesly, it's refreshing in its own way.

Hope Peter is doing ok and I'm thinking of him often while re-discovering some of his work.

Did he have another stroke?
 
I know you’re not asking me, but I liked it a lot. It was very easy to envision the specific Batman the book was using, and it was fix watching that world be fleshed out.
I appreciate (almost ;)) everyone's take on things so thank you. I believe this year or next year there is going a sequel to that book?
