So what are you reading now? Part 2

Just stormed through Losing The Peace after buying it yesterday - was surprised to see it in the UK so quickly. Very enjoyable although it really hit home just how bad life in the Federation is going to be for the forseeable future.

Also reading The Pain And The Privilege a biography of David Lloyd George's (WW1 era British PM) wife Margaret and mistress Frances. Very interesting insights into the life of a politician and his family in the late 19th and first half of the 20th century.

Finished 'Airframe' by Michael Crichton and 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen:1910'. No idea what to read next. May go back and read The Art of the Impossible as everyone goes on about how good it is and I have practically no memories of it.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I just finished the Adventures of Superman by George Lowther. (from 1942) Still reading Dragon's Fire by Ann and Todd McCaffrey and Inside Star Trek by Herb Solow and Robert Justman.

 

[Anika Hanson]

Just finished reading The return by William Shatner

Now reading Federation by Judith Reeves-Stevens and Garfield Reeves-Stevens

Halfway through "Paradise Lost" by Milton, ready for next term. It is excellent, which pleases me, as I was rather underwhelmed by what I knew of the subject. Having no time for "human inferiority/fall of man" religious philosophies (beyond, obviously, their essential place in our cultural history and literature/art), I was delighted to realize the poem's emphasis is on the story of Satan and his antagonism towards God. This is the first work dealing with Christian notions of spirituality that has truly gripped me.

I paused reading The Buried Age and started onmy newly acquired copy of Losing the Peace. Ploughing through it at a pretty good pace, and really enjoying it so far. Will pick up TBA after i'm finished with Losing the Peace.

Just finished Losing the Peace yesterday. Debating what to read next.

 

[Brendan Moody]

I've recently finished Sarah Waters' The Little Stranger, a brilliant historical novel/ghost story. I'm currently working on James Hynes' Publish and Perish: Three Tales of Terror and Tenure; other books in my to-read-soon pile are Joyce Carol Oates' Man Crazy, John Farris' All Heads Turn When the Hunt Goes By, and Kate Atkinson's Human Croquet.

im getting back into a star trek Lit mood again. I have quite a few to catch up on. I'll be starting with TNG "Losing the Peace", followed with "A Singular Destiny", TTN "Over a Torrent Sea", VGD "Open Secrets", TOS "Troublesome Minds", and the Nu Star Trek novelisation.

 

[Cap'n Crunch]

I finally finished Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Mission Gamma: This Gray Spirit. Next up is, of course: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Mission Gamma: Cathedral. I've also finished all the Gold Key Star Trek comics (thank God) and have started on Marvel's first run.

Have just finished reading Ken Macleod's Fall Revolution series after pausing to read Open Secrets. Loved the new Vanguard as always and am still trying to decide what i think of the fall revolution books. After unreservedly loving everything else Macleod has writen i found these four novels quite hard going in places and had to make a concious effort to keep reading.

 

[Lee T]

After finishing "The Count of Monte Cristo" I'm currently reading "Over a Torrent Sea".

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

Right now? The old James Blish collection of episode novelizations. Some are pretty interesting...some others are really cringeworthy.

God, the attitude towards women in some of them is just...BLEH.

 

[S. Gomez]

Michael Chabon's The Final Solution, about an elderly retired detective we're meant to take as Sherlock Holmes and a mute boy with a parrot.

 

[Section 31]

I'm plowing through the Destiny trilogy at the moment and can hardly put it down...

Just finished Losing the Peace. Read through it pretty quickly. For a book where not much happens it is quite the page turner thanks to the good character work.

I also finished The Man In The High Castle by Philip K Dick this week. Very good stuff. Considering the very interesting world and characters he builds up the ending is unsatisfying, but I've been told to expect that with his work. Before that I read Foundation by Asimov and Nation by Pratchett. I've been trying to read outside of the Star Trek universe a bit more recently. That's probably why I shot through Losing the Peace with such relish this weekend.

Don't know what to read next. I still have Troublesome Minds to read, but I tend to leave the TOS books for when I've had a bit of a ST drought because they aren't continuing adventures like the others.
