I've never read any. Are they that bad, or simply not her thing?
Imagine a middle-aged man in the 1970s trying to sound meaningful and sensitive so he can pick up hippie chicks. But worse.

Thanks!
I'm still working my way through the "A Time to,,," series. I'm on a time to harvest. Sow/Harvest has been much better than Born/Die, imo.
Hmm. I'll have to check out The Mosquito Coast after I'm done with this.
Cien años de soledad looks interesting so far (I'm only a few pages into it). I've only read one other novel by Gabriel García Márquez -- Del amor y otros demonios, an English translation of which I read my senior year in high school and which I enjoyed a lot.
I'm getting into Cien años de soledad because I'm developing an interest in Latin American history and culture. I'm reading The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, which deals in part with the rise of neo-liberalism in Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia as a result of U.S.-backed coups and "structural realignment." I also did my final college research paper on the history of the Argentine Dirty War and the subsequent transitional justice efforts there, and I had to take four courses en español in my last year of university. (Just graduated Saturday.) So all that has combined to make me very interested in Latin America. I am woefully ignorant of Latin American history and culture, I'm afraid...
I'm now just over halfway through Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It amazes me that there were kids who sat and read through all 760 pages of this in one sitting...
I only rifled through it - I got the impression Mr. Nimoy was a very secure person to publish that in his own name!
I like the other posters theories! They make sense given the time.Have only read Marques' Love in the Time of Cholera and 100 Years of Solitude. I am afraid I am a little too low-brow to fully appreciate his genious . . .
Just started The Soul Key.
That's great; I'm so glad to hear lots of people saying that. I think Kirsten deserves tons of sales. Like you, I loved that book, despite never being much fond of Voyager in the first place.
And if I get to it ..Star Trek by Alan Dean Foster. Maybe the movie will make more sense to me in book form.
Don't count on itI mean, I loved the movie, but a novel should have filled in more of those gaps and this one didn't even try.
The fight with Kirks parents is new, which is why the kid was driving the car and rocking out the Beastie Boys, and I think there is more dialogue between Pike Nero on his ship. Unless i am 'misremembering' like Andy Pettie!
I like this book! (Star Trek. By A D Foster)
If anyone's curious about Nimoy's poetry after the discussion upstream... I posted a little on my blog.
Oh dear God
I'm reading Footfall by Niven and Pournelle
I finished The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier And Clay last night, and I did enjoy it a lot despite thinking it may have been a bit long towards the end (the sudden jump in chronology threw me off a little, too). But overall it was a good read and I can see myself reading it again one day.
I've also got a Dashiell Hammett short story collection on the go, which is a lot of fun. Speaking of Hammett, has anyone read the book Spade And Archer? I'm wondering how it is for a "replacement" author's sequel/prequel.

Yea the plot as a whole is still full of gaping hopes, and things that still don't make sense.
I just started reading Troublsome Minds yeasterday. I finnished reading the book Cricuble: Kirk the other day. I like to get the Cricuble McCoy since I have that for Kirk and Spock which I both finnshed reading. I really love those books a lot! Once I get the one of McCoy, I'm gonna read them in order even though I finnshed Spock and Kirk. But I'll problley do that after I read McCoy all the way through, than re-read all them but in order. I want read them in order so I can get better understanding of all the events thats happening in each, and to see how all them are conected toghter.
Yea i started this yesterday, so far Spock went nuts and stole shuttle and the aliens are fussy pink birdmen. Who've taken over Commader Spocks mind!
Crucible Mc Coy is my favorite. Some ppl say it has no purpose things just happen. Things happen in every book. Its my favorite of the 3 crucibles. The first 2 relate well the 3rd one is intentionally a curveball outside which you can't hit, but you know it would be a strike if you take the pitch.
Hope to finish it Sunday if life gets more 'normal' (Morrissey there is no such thing in life as normal)

I have that first one. It is everything the cover promises it to be.
