So What Are you Reading?: Generations
- Thread starter captcalhoun
- Start date
And what does it have to do with the thread topic?
I've never heard of either one of them.
Star Trek: A Ceremony of Losses still packs a punch. Even though I knew what was coming, the mix of character work, action, and political intrigue worked to perfection and left me satisfied.
Now reading:
Star Trek: The Poisoned Chalice (reread, Swallow reminding me in the first few chapters how well he writes for the Titan cast)
Uncanny X-Men Omnibus, Vol. 1 (reread, covers the creatively fertile period from Giant-Size X-Men #1 through the first section of the Dark Phoenix Saga)
Distant Telepaths (new release from Timothy Zahn that adds a capstone story to the three previously published stories about telepath Dale Ravenhall and his friends)

Currently reading Enigma Tales by Una
I know you said you were done, but just wanted to mention for future reference... I haven't watched the videos, so I don't really know what is going on there, but "booktuber drama" seems off topic for this thread. I let the first one slide without comment, but figured I should mention something when you posted a second one.
Maybe either the Official Video Thread in Misc, or even its own thread in either Misc or TV & Media would be a better place for this?
Dude got accused of SA, was ganged up on by the community, unfollowed by Brandon Sanderson (a guy he stood by when he faced some troubles), lost sponsors, subscribers and possibly a book deal and then came back swinging with proof that the accusations of SA were not that, that the sex was consensual (though he cheated on his girlfriend) with the accuser backtracking and apologizing for making the accusations as well as apologizing to people who had actually been SA'd. Dude had a lot of people instantly and viciously turn on him (including some "friends") without even giving the guy a chance to give his side of the story. Now all those many people who made those videos denigrating the guy are making apology videos because they've got egg on their faces for joining a howling mob that was out for blood. Hopefully Greene told them all to fuck off.
Anyway, that's the short version.
As for what I'm reading? The Winds of Limbo (aka The Fireclown) by the legendary Michael Moorcock. I'm working my way through the classic iteration of The Eternal Champion saga where I plan to stop at it's original end. Been enjoying them so far.
Also just completed Mike Mignola's Bowling With Corpses, a new folklore inspired fantasy world that seems to be his current passion. I really loved it, though there was a little too much dropping of names and place names for my tastes. Like he was trying not to infodump too much, but couldn't help himself.
Again, that's a minor complaint, I really loved the book and it's world and the next volume is underway and I can't wait for it.

I finished Enigma Tales and now currently working on Star Trek Picard: The Dark Veil. So far I'm enjoying it!
I'm reading Sherlock Holmes and Dorian Gray the classified dossier by Christopher Klaver This is book 3 in the mystery horror series the first 2 books are well written and really good story telling. I hope this author will do more Sherlock Holmes stories like this in the future.
Well, since events have conspired to interfere with my finally seeing Discovery 5x03, I've been reading random "disposable reading material," along with random pages from my newly acquired used hardcover of Asimov's Treasury of Humor. (It's in decent enough condition, albeit with a few pages marked up
in black ballpoint ink.

Finished up "Asylum" by Una McCormack today. I liked that the book was focused on Una for the most part. It was nice to see her and Pike meet and develop their friendship. Lots of fun little bits and call backs too. A fun read.
Just read a book called Heretics Anonymous by Katie Henry. It's more of a YA book which I don't read all too much of anymore but I can still appreciate a good one.
I was a slacker again in February, reading wise. All I managed to finish was the individual issues (on Marvel Unlimited) that make up the hardcover “Original Sin” collected edition (Marvel, 2014) by Jason Aaron, Mike Deodato (art), et al., and “Mighty Avengers” Vol. 3: “Original Sin — Not Your Father’s Avengers” trade paperback (Marvel, 2014) by Al Ewing, Greg Land (art), Salvador Larroca (art), et al.
I’m also still making my way through the “Original Sin Companion” issues and John Jackson Miller’s “Batman: Resurrection” prose novel.
(“Not Your Father’s Avengers” starts with the same issues that are also in the “Original Sin Companion” book but the “Companion” doesn’t include the finish of that side story, which is why I read enough issues of Mighty Avengers to finish off that volume of the trade paperbacks.)
