Man, I've really dropped the ball on keeping track of everything I'm reading this year through this thread.
But, at the moment, I've just finished reading Star Trek: Section 31: Disavowed by David Mack. Prior to that, I finished reading Red Mars by Kim Stanely Robinson. At the moment, I am now reading This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate by Naomi Klein, and am sometimes jumping between that and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Hollow Men by Una McCormack. I had started to read Klein's first book, No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies but have set that aside to read This Changes Everything first.
At some point, I need to jump back into A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn, which I keep making progress on and then setting aside. I also want to get back to The Honourable Schoolboy by John le Carré, which I began and got about halfway through over a year and a half ago before setting it down.
In recent months, I have also re-read: The Giver by Lois Lowry; Star Trek: The Fall: Revelation and Dust by David R. George III; Star Trek: The Fall: The Crimson Shadow by Una McCormack; Star Trek: The Fall: A Ceremony of Losses by David Mack; Socialism: Past and Future by Michael Harrington; M. Butterfly by David Henry Hwang; and sections of Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes by Tony Kushner. I've also read for the first time books such as Star Trek: Enterprise: Rise of the Federation: Tower of Babel by Christopher L. Bennett; Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt by Chris Hedges and Joe Stacco; and Imagine!: Living in a Socialist USA, edited by Frances Goldin, Debby Smith, and Michael Smith.
