i'm currently reading through Star Wars: The New Jedi Order. I'm almost done with Dark Tide II: Ruin. Really enjoying it so far.
So what are you reading now? (Part 3)

The Sonya Gomez of SCE is 11 years older and more experienced than the one from "Q Who" and "Samaritan Snare." That's more experience than Will Riker had when TNG began, and about as much experience as Jim Kirk had when TOS began.
Since when has any race been absolutely uniform in its behavioral characteristics? Keep reading and you'll learn more about Nasat psychology.
Finished reading Treat Me Like Dirt, the Toronto punk book, and also read the BFI Film Classics book on L'année dernière à Marienbad by Jean-Louis Leutrat. Short even by the BFI books standards and not as illuminating as I'd hoped.
Now finishing Chris Bentley's The Complete Book of Gerry Anderson's UFO, which I'd stopped reading partway through the episode synopses and then forgot to finish. Up next... either Robert Wood's Destination Moonbase Alpha or J.G. Ballard's Super-Cannes. I'm more in the mood for the latter, but the latest Space: 1999 novel is in the mail so it wouldn't hurt to read something that'll refresh my memory of episodes I haven't seen in some time.
(Well, you can't always read Star Trek books.)

Summon the Thunder comes before Reap the Whirlwind, then you have Open Secrets and Precipice. It's an amazing series. Second only to the DS9-Relaunch and the Titan series, IMHO.
Alternating between Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks and Ex Machina now while I'm at work doing absolutely nothing.
Yes, I know. But Reap The Whirlwind is the next one by David Mack, and it blows Harbinger out of the water.
Finished off Losing The Peace yesterday and started in on Full Circle. Never read the Spirit Walk (I think that's what it was called) duology, so I've felt a little out of the loop with the majority of the early parts of the book that deal with where those left off. But I'm looking forward to when it eventually syncs up with the Destiny events....
I finished "What Price Honor?" it was readable, but not a patch on Dave Stern's later Daedalus double.
The dates in the book were a little screwed up and the NX's weapons keep swapping between fusion and photon torpedoes.
The end of the book, where they find a system with mirrored planets on opposite sides of a sun (based on the earliest 'parrallel earth' stories) sounds really cool. Shame we don't get to visit.
Up next: the second SCE story.

Somehow, I'm not in the mood for heavy reads at the moment, so Dostoyevsky and Zeruya Shalev will have to wait.
I read the DS9 book The Left Hand of Destiny instead. The first book was very good, the second was bit too much battle and bloodshed for me. Also, some of the things were just weird, like Morjod's transformation at the end. The character work was great and made the Klingons quite appealing. The mythology angle didn't work for me, though.

I finished the second SCE story, Fatal Error. Again, alright but nothing mind blowing.
I'm not sure if this counts, but I'm reading Jean Airey's "The Doctor and the Enterprise". Having learnt it's backstory I sought it out, downloaded it, found a cover scan of the (dodgy) released version, rammed the whole lot through Calibre and I'm reading it on my eBook reader. Interesting and fun.
I'm also reading Voyager: Homecoming. I like much of it but there is one aspect I very, very strongly dislike. More on that later.

I finished the first Mirror Universe anthology, Glass Empires a few days ago and started on David Mack's original novel, The Calling. I really enjoyed Glass Empires bothas a whole, and as individual stories. The Calling is really good too.
just finished "star trek academy: Collision Course", pretty good, hope the sequel gets made, now reading "To reign in hell" hope its as good as the eugenics wars books!
I finished The Doctor and the Enterprise, which was enjoyable (I guess you could call it a "Mary Who" adventure...I'll go die now)
I also finished the first Voyager Homecoming book, which I thought was enjoyable, but I have a *huge* problem with one facet of it: the child abuse. a) it's not fun escapism, it's the vile crap that goes on all in real life. It may be suited to miserable stuff like BSG, but never Star Trek. b) I suppose such things might happen in the Trek universe, among the Orion slavers and so forth, but on Earth? c) "Dad" was a Starfleet officer. What about all the psychological testing Starfleet officers go though? What about telepaths? You think someone like Troi wouldn't pick up on the mental images of this guy beating his wife and raping his stepdaughter? This is so wrong on so many levels.
