David, have you written any original fiction?
I was just wondering since once I've read them I could prop up my coffee table.

So what are you reading now? Part 2

Over the past week I started both Darkly Dreaming Dexter, the first book in the series Dexter is based on, and Dead Until Dark, the first book in the series True Blood is based on. I'm a big fan of both shows so I decided to see where they came from. Although I'm probably not going to read any more until I finish at least a couple of the other four books I'm reading.
I finished Torchwood: Another Life. I'm now about half way through with Star Trek: Troublesome Minds and thouroughly enjoying it. Next up is Star Trek: Titan: Over a Torrent Sea.
Currently reading ST: TNG : Losing The Peace by William Leisner, and then plan to read Stephen Baxter's Moonseed.
Moonseed is really cool. I enjoyed it. Lots of death and destruction, but surprisingly it's not depressing as Baxter can sometimes get. (See Titan for Baxter at his most depressingly nihilistic. Yowch.)
At the moment, the only piece of fiction I've had published not set in the Trek universe is a novelette entitled Moon Over Luna. It appears in the anthology Thrilling Wonder Stories, Volume 2. But I am presently working on some other things.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm currently reading The Never-Ending Sacrifice.
Well, you don't write short books. Even your novellas are on the long side. I'm just waiting for a trilogy from you, it'll twice as long as anybody else's
I'm reading Loamhedge in the Redwall series.
Very interesting author, and that's a great book.
My favorites of his are all the ones in the Xeelee sequence though; Vacuum Diagrams, the short story collection, is definitely the place to start there but the novels are all great.
I've nearly finished 'Losing The Peace' and it's been real struggle for me to get through it. I've just found it so boring.
At the moment I'm reading Christopher Brookmyres latest hardback Pandeamonium, it's an ok read, unlike his previous stories though, it's not exactly laugh out loud funny, but it has had it's moments and Demons vs the US Army vs a bunch of Catholic school children should be interesting.
I must admit, I've read a few books since the last time I posted in this thread but can't really remember them all. The most recent read though was The Time Travellers Wife I absolutely loved, but I was rather surprised by some of the language (is C U Next Tuesday acceptable language in the States to describe a womans neither regions?) and my heart just sunk towards the end with what happened to Henry as I was hoping for a happier ending that what happened.

Still struggling through The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L Sayers. People keep telling me to stick with it as it's a classic, but it's like having teeth pulled...
im continuing to read through my TNG books in chronological order. I'm on "The Eyes of the Beholders"
I had the same experience. I enjoyed Murder Must Advertise very much, and friends urged me to read The Nine Tailors, but I found all those arcane details about campanology agonizingly boring. I gave up and never looked back.
