A Star Trek books break?

[ronny]

I took a 10 year break about 5 or 6 years ago.

So you've only got 4 or 5 years to go?

Uhh, I meant 15 or 16 years go.

I can't help but notice how many of my fave Trek Lit authors are working on SCE etc. not my beloved DS9 relaunch. :P

As Bill said, nobody's working on SCE. Everything I listed has already been published electronically, but the last SCE story -- our own TerriO's Remembrance of Things Past -- was published in fall 2007, and then the original eBook line was put on hiatus.

However, there's some authorial crossover. Several authors have contributed to both series: Keith R.A. DeCandido, Heather Jarman, David Mack, and Michael A. Martin & Andy Mangels -- plus there are a bunch of crossovers, as I may have mentioned elsewhere:

Cold Fusion by Keith R.A. DeCandido (between Avatar Book 2 and Section 31: Abyss) reprinted in Miracle Workers.

And the following, all reprinted in Wounds and taking place between the Ferenginar and Dominion novels in Worlds of DS9 Volume 3:

• Malefictorum by Terri Osborne
  Lost Time by Ilsa J. Bick
  Security by Keith R.A. DeCandido (minor)
  Wounds by Ilsa J. Bick

True. But naturally if I had my way, there'd be a new book every week or two since... Oh, 2001? :P Tho thanks for reminding me I need to get CF and Wounds- I was going to go look yesterday, but got held up then forgot what I was going to the mall for. Old age, I tell ya!

I've not stopped reading trek. But I am intermixing it while reading other books.

I tend to read things in spurts, though I don't have a ton of time for pleasure reading since I'm still trying to finish up my Comm degree in night school. I have a lot of mystery authors I enjoy reading, so I usually alternate a mystery binge with a Trek binge. And the occasional romance novel will slip in, too. I don't like to read too much of any genre at a time for fear I'll get burned out.

Having said that, I've got all of January off school and am planning a complete and total TrekLit reading orgy of all the stuff I picked up at Shore Leave for the autograph session.

I have to take an occasional Star Break. There are so many other kinds of books that I like to read, plus I have other hobbies that I like to pursue. Money/time just doesn't always allow me to pick up every single Trek book I want to read. I also just get kind of burned out on them occasionally.

The nice thing about taking a break from Trek books is that once I come back there are usually a ton of new books for me to pick up.

Treklit is only part of my reading diet,I'm usually to be found with my nose in a book.At present I'm rereading Thomas Pynchons' "Mason&Dixon"(thats at my bedside).
David Leviens' excellent crime/thriller "City of the sun".(thats in my car).

TBH,I will now be taking a Treklit break.I'm Borged out.I probably will buy Destiny(actually I will buy),but might not read them for a while.
As a fan of both DS9r and Vanguard,that probably means that I'm on a break for the time being anyway.(couldn't resist that one).

This may seem like a funny question, but have any of you ever taken a break from reading Trek books? And why?
For the first 8 months of last year I read nothing but Star Trek books and then I got into a huge arguement on this site about the TNG-R novels. (I stuck up for them and I still think they're great, especially BD.)
I'm not sure why but the whole arguement thing pissed me off so much I haven't touched a Star Trek book since...
YESTERDAY! I was in my local Borders and I just happened to walk down the aisle where the Trek books were...
45 minutes later i'm at home having just bought Forged In Fire, The Terek Nor trilogy, Greater Than The Sum and Kobayashi Maru and the fourth Titan novel. (I hope that my wife doesn't see the Visa bill)
So going back to my original question has anyone ever taken a break from Trek novels? And what made you get back into them?

I have long stretches of not reading 'Trek books. Right now I'm coming almost a year break to read the Destiny books. But that's largely cause I"m taking a break / slowing down working on my own projects to work on non writing projects for other so my time is getting eaten up.
