I’ve just finished ‘Twilights End’ by Jerry Oltion. Not a bad story but way too far- fetched.
So What Are you Reading?: Generations
- Thread starter captcalhoun
- Start date
I'm currently reading NG Possession, it's fun. I feel like i'm all over the place in my reading instead of a more chronological way.
Finished Killing Time. No comment.
Started Dwellers in the Crucible. So far, pretty good.

thanks, i'll check out Demons when I get to TOS books!
I think I misunderstood this thread
So What Are you Reading?: Generations
thinking it was about Next Generation literature
i'm a dope

I enjoyed that one.
You may well be, but you're probably not. There aren't that many dopes who are ST fans. The Bachelor is probably more their speed.
I've always assumed that the thread title indicates that it's the iteration of this thread that was preceded by one called "So What Are you Reading?: The Undiscovered Country," and will eventually be followed by one called "So What Are you Reading?: First Contact."
At any rate, I'm now about 3/4 of the way through Quofum. The Qwarm in the midst of the exploration party has killed off both the captain and the initial reader-surrogate character, and we're up to eight entirely different sentient species on the eponymous planet.
IIRC, it started back when the board software was less advanced and threads had a maximum permitted size, so the "So What Are You Reading?" thread had a "Part 2," "Part 3," etc., and after "Part 6," the thread starter made a joke of it. But now that size limit doesn't exist anymore, so there's been no need to move onto a Part 8 even though the thread is over a decade old at this point.
Assuming we don't eventually hit some brick wall we don't know about.
Over on FPN, threads that tend to fill up just get a year appended to their names. And if they last more than a year, they just get multiple years appended to their names.

On second thought, I think maybe the previous threads did have Trek-movie "subtitles" corresponding to their numbers, but this was the first one that dropped the number, in keeping with how ST:GEN did it.
it’s Monday night at 9:40 Eastern. We’ve just hit the Rose Ceremony. They’re going to split the guys between Gabby and Rachel!
You're right ..i'm really not a dope.. though i am boring in a good kind of way, ... boring to people who don't like to talk about ST (which of course means pursuing philosophical ideas of life and society) It sometimes seems like every discussion can trace back to a ST episode.. maybe that's why i don't have many friends haha i'm kidding..sort of
..and thanks for replying to help me understand the thread name.. i was racking my brain.. is it wracking or racking? maybe i was doing both
Thank you!!! for this.. really.
my brain can rest
I finished re-reading Quofum (I'd completely forgotten almost everything that happens in the book) and began Flinx Transcendant (about all I remembered was that it's where Flinx's unique mind saves the Galaxy [and countless others] from the Great Evil, concluding a decades-long story arc, and leaving him free to pursue other things, pursuits that begin with the novel, Strange Music, which I remember somewhat better).
Note that I'm not forgetting these because they're particularly forgettable; rather, it's because they're books that I've only read once. Conversely, I've read many of ADF's other novels as many as a dozen times.

HUMOR, HORROR, AND THE SUPERNATURAL by Saki.
A Scholastic Books edition (from 1968) that I remembered fondly from my youth and recently stumbled onto at local used-book store.
Witty and mischievous, I'm finding these tales much funnier than I realized as a kid, where I suspect much of the comedy-of-manners aspects flew over my head . . . .
