So what are you reading now?

[FatherRob]

Well, I decided to drag out "Sanctuary" by John Vornholt - an enjoyable little read. Now, before starting in on my next review book, I am reading "Rihannsu" (Specifically, I am reading "My Enemy, My Ally" before reading the review book, and will pick up with the rest in my June lul between books).

I picked up a bunch of Trek comics today, both Romulans: Hollow Crown issues, the last NF: Turnaround, and Alien Spotlight: Tribbles (which I just finished and loved) and AS:Klingons. I also went back to the second TPB of Star Wars: Legacy, and I went back to the Comic COllection DVD. Instead of reading a third novel (I like to read 2-3 at a time) I'm gonna be working my way through the comics.

Screw school reading. I'll tempt fate and just go on to Reap The Whirlwind. I can get the other book read on time. I hope...

Had just started the latest Voyager Book: Full Circle and then saw the Movie Novelisation... needless to say I'm reading that 1st and then back to Full Circle

 

[new_mercury]

re-reading Vanguard Harbinger- hoping to read all 3 again before Open Secrets arrives on 1st June.

Finished the Destiny Trilogy by David Mack and have moved on to Titan:Over a Torrent Sea by Christopher L Bennett

Looks good so far

Hope you enjoy this!

I read all of L. Frank Baum's The Twinkle Tales yesterday, and now I'm (finally) on to Star Trek: Mere Anarchy; I finished the first segment, "Things Fall Apart," over breakfast this morning.

 

[Terengo]

Alternating between Ian Bank's Matter and Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely. Just finished reading the book to Stephen Sondheim's Follies (God, what a depressing musical!)

 

[Reanok]

I'm reading the new StarTrek Movie novel by Alan Dean Foster.I've really had a hard tine putting this book down.Each chapter I want to know what happens next in the story. I just left off where the Enterprise arrives at Vulcan and all I'll say is wow! That's a really dangerous situation that Captain Pike is in. also Kirk and Chief Engineer Olson & Sulu is in too.

 

[Lonemagpie]

Finished Lee Child's Killing Floor the other day - haven't decided what's next, Trek or otherwise

 

[Brendan Moody]

My recent reading includes Paul Auster's In the Country of Last Things (interesting passages but a bit dull on the whole), Dave Cullen's Columbine (a well-structured nonfiction account), the KRAD-edited The Quality of Leadership (a fun Doctor Who anthology, with a couple great stories, several solid entries, and only one that I thought was a total loss), Paul Cornell's No Future (a Doctor Who New Adventure, very uneven but ultimately enjoyable), and the Absolute Edition of Watchmen. I'm currently working my way through the four-volume Absolute Sandman, and about to finish John Langan's horror collection Mr. Gaunt and Other Uneasy Encounters. Oh, and I'm 30 pages into Mere Anarchy, though I don't know whether I'll be finishing it now.

the KRAD-edited The Quality of Leadership (a fun Doctor Who anthology, with a couple great stories, several solid entries, and only one that I thought was a total loss),

I'd love to read a more detailed review at some point......

Oh, and I'm 30 pages into Mere Anarchy, though I don't know whether I'll be finishing it now.

*raises eyebrow* How come?

 

[Brendan Moody]

^I get distracted easy, and until I'm about 10% of the way through a book I never know whether I'll stick with it or put it back on the shelf for later. (Even after 10% it's iffy; I read three stories in QoL and part of a fourth, then lost track of it for months before grabbing it again and finishing in a few days.) Nothing to do with quality, just a 21st century attention span.

I'm thinking about doing a QoL review, if I can work up the enthusiasm to put coherent sentences and paragraphs together anytime soon.

 

[Trent Roman]

I finished Gods of Night yesterday, did some quick'n'dirty rereads of the Serenity graphic novels during my annual revisiting of the series/movie, and plan on starting Book 2 of Destiny tonight.

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

 

[Dancing Doctor]

I've decided to read only Full Circle for now (finished reading A Singular Destiny for the second or third time), especially since it looks like I really will have to focus on it. It's not *bad*, but really long and drawn out.

After Full Circle, I should be getting back to Over A Torrent Sea which looks and looked promising, but hasn't fully grabbed me yet.

 

[JD]

AS:Klingons.

Hope you enjoy this!

I read it last night, and I really enjoyed it. I was afraid that the stories were going to be to short for me to really get anything out of them, but they actually worked perfect the way they were. I also read and enoyed the Tribbles issue, I especially got a kick out of the stuff told from the Tribbles perspective. I really thought it fit in well with the other Tribble stories.

You child of your times, you....

I'm thinking about doing a QoL review, if I can work up the enthusiasm to put coherent sentences and paragraphs together anytime soon.

I would greatly appreciate that. Your reviews are always thoughtful and useful bits o' criticism.

Thanks muchly!



Currently I'm reading the first volume of The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes. The three volumes, edited and annotated by Leslie S. Klinger, include every single Holmes short story and novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I'd read very little of the original Holmes stories before, and realized that was a significant lack in my reading. And I'm glad I'm doing so, as this is some great stuff.

(Some of the annotations are unintentionally hilarious. While a lot of them are simply explaining contemporary references -- which is quite useful for a reader who exists in a world 100 years away from Holmes and Watson's -- the ones that try to explain the numerous inconsistencies are absurd. People have spent a ridiculous amount of energy contorting themselves to try to explain away stuff that basically boils down to the fact that Conan Doyle was lazy with his technical details and wasn't copy-edited. )

Currently, Underworld 3 by Greg Cox.

After finishing Destiny and Over a Torrent Sea, I've also ordered Before Dishonor, Resistance, A Singular Destiny and Greater than the Sum. I probably should have read some of those earlier, but I'm still on catch up
