So what are you reading now?

Considering the condition of the Khitomer Accords allies, I don't think they'd have the time nor the energy to mass-replicate Typhon Pact currency and flood the system, especially since replicators in general are at a premium.

Could you imagine the outcry if citizens found out that instead of replicating food or industrial parts, the government was instead trying to play Greenspan with the Typhon Pact monetary system? And even if there wasn't an outcry, the logistics of the operation alone would be daunting.

Finally finished up Mere Anarchy this morning-- a brilliant book, with a clever concept well executed. Then I zipped through Paul Cornell's Captain Britain and MI13, Vol. 1: Secret Invasion over lunch, and now it's on to the tNG manga, Boukenshin.

Currently reading "Vanguard:Open Secrets" by Ward and "War and Peace" by Tolstoy.

When I was in the supermarket checkout buying "Vanguard", the guy in line ahead of me said, "Oh. There are Star Trek books?"

He was from either Australia or New Zealand judging by the accent. I guess Trek lit isn't that big down under.

Thank you!

Mere Anarchy is a great book. I started reading Death in winter by Micheal Jan Friedman.

I finished Stargate SG-1: The First Amendment last night. It was better than the the previous one, The Price You Pay, but it took half the book before they even went offworld and was wrapped up way too quickly. And the aliens depicted didn't really have a Stargate "feel" to them. But besides all that, and all the spelling errors, it was a pretty decent read. I then started on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Section 31: Abyss, and next I'll move on to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Gateways: Demons of Air and Darkness.

ETA:
Since I got the Star Trek: Complete Comic Collection the other day, I've begun reading those in publication order. Unfortunately that means right now I'm working my way through the Gold Key comics *sigh*.

Just zipped through The Forever War. Still can't find The Vesuvius Club, so I dunno what's next...

I loved The Vesuvius Club. If there's ever a nineteenth-century Torchwood series, Gatiss is the only person I'd ever trust to write it.

I'm struggling to finish The Feminine Mystique in time to read Phyllis Schlafly's Feminist Fantasies for this research paper I need to do, but David McCullough and his John Adams biography, Naomi Klein and The Shock Doctrine, Debtor's Planet, all call to me and tempt me.

 

[John Clark]

For my trek books, finished Q&A and am starting on Before Dishonor. (All good so far )

 

[Stevil2001]

...and now it's on to the tNG manga, Boukenshin.

Finished both that and Replay by Ken Grimwood yesterday; now it's on to From Polders to Postmodernism: A Concise History of Archival Theory by John Ridener. Which sounds thrilling, I know.

I'm struggling to finish The Feminine Mystique in time to read Phyllis Schlafly's Feminist Fantasies for this research paper I need to do, but David McCullough and his John Adams biography, Naomi Klein and The Shock Doctrine, Debtor's Planet, all call to me and tempt me.

John Adams by David McCullough is a wonderful, wonderful book that I wholeheartedly recommend. I read it last summer, and it had been a long time since I'd read a biography. By the end of it, I found myself mourning Adams's death -- even though the man died around 150 years before my birth and I knew it going in!

 

[Dancing Doctor]

John Adams and John Quincy Adams are two of my favorite Presidents.

 

[S. Gomez]

I haven't read John Adams yet (saw the miniseries), but I did read McCullough's The Path Between The Seas; I never knew the Panama Canal could be so interesting.

 

[Snaploud]

I just finished KRAD's Gorkon books (IKS Gorkon 1-3 and Klingon Empire: A Burning House). Any word on a continuation...?

I'm thinking that I'll try Engines of Destiny next...perhaps followed by the four vanguard books. Though, I'm also considering KRAD's Art of the Impossible.

 

[Dancing Doctor]

^All of those choices are really good, but Art of the Impossible is my personal favorite out of the ones you listed. Klingons, Cardassians, Curzon, interstellar politics...what's not to like?

 

[seigezunt]

Just finished Time for Yesterday (Conan/Romance Novel meets Trek). It was OK, but a little too much continuity porn, even for me.

Now reading The Entropy Effect, upon this board's recommendation, and it's great so far.

 

[Steve Roby]

Now reading A Grave in Gaza, the second Omar Yussef mystery by Matt Beynon Rees. I quite liked the first one, and this looks promising as well. Rees is a journalist with a lot of experience reporting from the Middle East, so I suspect his take on things there is reasonably well grounded in reality.

Finally got to read Mere Anarchy - so glad of the compilation - after finishing it I think I'd have gone crazy waiting for new installments of the ebooks to release. Excellent concept and fantastic writing - would love to see the concept applied to any number of other arcs. Now I get to read the Crucible trilogy - goody!!!
