So What Are you Reading?: Generations

I will preface this by saying that I had to look that one up (sorry, Mr. David) because, like Mr. Cox's short story about April's mercy mission to Tarsus IV, Before Dishonor had completely slipped my mind.
That said, I can't imagine how a story about Borg pushed to desperation could possibly be funny.
In Best Destiny, I just got past the point where Robert April and Geordie Kirk discussed Tarsus IV, and predictably, Carey took it as an opportunity for a (mercifully brief and mercifully moderate) hard-Libertarian diatribe.
I have a funny story about that book. CBS initially rejected the outline because they thought the fictional TV series in the book, "Shock Treatment," was too far-fetched. There was no way, they argued, that a show like that would ever make it to air.
I pointed out that "Scare Tactics" was currently airing on Syfy and they withdrew the objection.

I didn't think of it as far fetched given some of the other shows I've seen - but I hadn't heard of Scare Tactics (I don't think it made it here). - At least it wasn't one of the shows that CBS had created (and then forgot about) when they made that argument
I finished Lumberjanes (Vol. 2): Friendship to the Max last night, and I loved it. I'll post my thoughts over in the SFF forum.
Trust me, you have to read it to believe it!
Just posted my review of The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard. Liked that one!
Most recent book we covered on Literary Treks was Prometheus: The Root of All Rage by Bernd Perplies & Christian Humberg in Literary Treks 233: The Yin and the Yang of Klingons.
Right now, I'm mostly caught up on my Trek reading, so I'm finally getting a chance to read David Mack's The Midnight Front. Really getting into it so far!

As some know, I am doing a chronological maiden voyage through the Lit Verse...
I have a compiled list that has DTI: Forgotten History across multiple dates. I am currently in 2275...
Is it good to read then, or when would be the most suitable time?

Dragon Sim-13 by Bob Mayer (almost finished), then I may check out the Interstellar novel by Greg Keyes.
Sorry, hope this is ok to post here.
Hi guys I'm new here and love trek in all it's many forms. But I have a question I have in my possession a signed dated copy of "A Stitch in Time" I even remember where I was when I met Garrak but I've be trying to see what it might be worth unfortunately I can't find any others like it anywhere. You guys got any ideas?

Started the Rihannsu omnibus The Bloodwing Voyages.
TITAN Sword of Damocles (its not engaging me, might drop this one)
This was the weakest of the Titan stories. The Germans still have to translate Fortunes of War with David Mack as author. It should therefore be better.
I have to admit, that's my problem with most of the Titan novels.
If you think about dropping this one, to start the next, I can only warn you: It's just getting worse. Book 5 is one of the most boring novels, I've ever read. Just think about naked Riker and a fishgirl on an island - and nothing, absolutely nothing, happens.
I'm still reading the Worlds of Deep Space 9 series. Just finished book 2, Andor, last weekend, and now started book 3, Trill.
Although I'm just in the third chapter, it's already more interesting then Andor and Cardassia. The whole Trill/Parasites-story has a lot of potential, and was one of the best parts in DS9 Season 8.
Little Tasha is born. But no reaction whatsoever by Lwaxana. Even if someone dislikes the Daughter of the Fifth House, Lwaxana becoming a grandma should have been worth a page or so.

Wow, Jinn, that's A LOT to read.
Have fun with it
My current reading-plan is:
WoDS9 books 3 - 6, the DS9 Season 9 books 1 - 3.
Parallel, I'm always reading a novel with my son.
At this time, we are reading Typhon Pact book 6, this will be followed by book 7. After Typhon Pact, he wants to hear Corps of Engineers, before we go to The Fall.
