^I doubt it. The graphic novel has never gone out of print in 20 years and is selling like hotcakes at my LCS.
So what are you reading now?

i'm reading the Wildfire part of SCE Wildfire and i nearly cried when i got to the bit where Duffy proposes; knowing how it ends. thank fuck i didn't seeing as i was on the bus to work.
I'll be starting to read Wet Work by The Gestalt Entity on monday.
In other reading, still working my way through The Bourne Sanction by Eric van Lustbader.

For me there actually is one comic that is better than Watchmen: Neil Gaiman's Sandman
But they are both beating each up at the moment about being King of the Hill, so to speak.
Have read the entirety of Watchmen, but only up to Sandman 6: Fables & Reflections as of this moment, so we'll se how it ends before I decide which is the best one.
Just finished reading A Stitch in Time (one of the best Star Trek books I've read so far).
Currently reading:
D.H. Lawrence - Lady Chatterley's Lover
Brian Greene - The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time and the Texture of Reality
Janet H. Murray - Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace
And since I'm on a really big Trek-fix at the moment I have a hard time deciding between: The Bloodwing Voyages, Mosaic, New Frontier 1-4, The Q-Continuum Trilogy or Have Tech, Will Travel

Of those choices, I think they're all outstanding except maybe the Q trilogy; it's very good stuff, but not quite enough to justify a trilogy. The middle book really drags, and the other two could've been better, too. It's a one-long-book or a two-short-book story, not a three-book story.
The rest are all fantastic. And if you haven't read New Frontier before, you should totally start there - it's... unique

I was rereading Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis recently. It's sort of the "anti-star trek" in that the future is very inhospitable, in a lot of ways. Funny & dark as hell, tho.
I recently finished Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street, and am now working on Drood by Dan Simmons. Once I finish that and a couple other library books, I'll get into the reprint of Mere Anarchy, which just arrived yesterday.
ATM I feel very peculiar about Trek Lit... and lit in general.
I'm having a horrific time getting into anything...
Has anyone else gotten like that? Tiredness or something? I've got books I've wanted to read, books I should read... and I look at them... and I just can't.

Thanks! I'll give it some thought - Yeah, I've heard alot, and I mean alot, about Peter Davids humour.
I have a hard time deciding if I should go timeline wise, I got VOTI and read it page by page, or just go with New Frontier because I hear such crazy things about it.
I get to feeling the same way after a lengthy Trek reading binge, yes. And if I'm also writing Trek at the same time, that amplifies the issue. There's nothing wrong with taking time away to read something else... or to read nothing else. It's supposed to be a pleasurable activity, after all.ATM I feel very peculiar about Trek Lit... and lit in general.

Warren Ellis' Crooked Little Vein. Which has made me realize that I'm not depraved, not even a teensy bit. I have two words for you. Godzilla porn.
I had been reading the Star Wars Lotf series. I got midway thru the 3rd book before i got burned out on star wars. Before starting the LOTF series, I had read entire Star Wars NJO series. So i'm ready to flip back over to Star Trek. I had read all the TNG relaunch books and Titan books. Now i'm gonna start the Destiny trilogy. I hope its good.
Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that, Gibson...
'The Gestalt Entity'...buh?
I do remember reading a book called Wet Work a few years ago. It was a zombie horror tale but with a twist: a lot of the zombies still had their full intelligence and personalities. They eventually take over and establish a 'zombie government' (United States of Hell). I take it this isn't the same one you meant.
If you're not just kidding, Xeris is speaking about Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore and their relatively recent The 4400 novel.

True... I have read a ridiculous amount lately, neglecting friends and important duties...
I suppose a mental break is in order, as I doubt all of a sudden my enjoyment of reading is literally going to disappear.
It's just so odd having books... not being read.
I took a flight yesterday, so I had time to get some reading done: I finished of Edison's Conquest of Mars and read all of E. B. White's Charlotte's Web. Now I'm several chapters into Mary Elizabeth Braddon's classic Victorian sensation novel, Lady Audley's Secret.
