I enjoyed Jurassic Park and The Lost World by him. Airframe was quite good too, but a lot of the story seemed like filler to get it to book length.
So what are you reading now? (Part 3)

I actually loved Timeline, it's second favorite of his books after Jurassic Park. Although I've never read Lost World, Andromenda Strain, Congo, or Airframe.
I admit I was hearing Marvin's voice in my head the whole time I was reading the story last night.
Funny bit of trivia: the original story is set in the distant future of . . . 1997!
I'm currently reading "Fifteen Hours" by Mitchel Scanlon.
Next up is Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett

I can see having a deadline you HAVE to hit for a movie novelization, etc. but this was just sad, especially for a hardcover. If you're charging a premium price then quality should be the main factor, not hitting an arbitrary deadline.
I know that deadlines are often out of the hands of authors and editors but this particular situation was very badly handled.
Hood by Steven Lawhead its quite a read so far I was reading Mcdermont's series of books Hunt for Atlantis,Tomb of Hercules,and two others I plan getting once I get a job or have my business starting up in the fall I think.

Recently, I have been reading through the Trek novels penned by Peter David. I have finished New Frontier up to and including "Being Human." I read "Strike Zone" as I was intrigued by the appearance of "Moron" as a Klingon Ambassador. Now progressing through "A Rock and a Hard Place" and finding myself discomfited with the character of Quentin Stone, though I realize he was the forerunner to Mackenzie Calhoun. Afterwards, I may delve into a more recent release, such as "Children of Kings"
Is "Sorrows of Empire" the novel any different from "Sorrows of Empire" in the MU trades?
Just started "The Children of Kings" the yesterday.
I am reading Mission Gamma: Twilight!
It was the last line I read before having to put the book down but, in Vulcan's Glory...
Castillo is Captain Garratt's son?!?!
Castillo is Captain Garratt's son?!?!
^Umm, first off, do you mean Vulcan's Heart? Vulcan's Glory is a Pike-era Spock story.
Second, where in VH does it say that about Castillo?

Vulcan's Heart, sorry.
I had to drop the book and go, but somewhere around page140, just as we get to the Enterprise-C, they seem to imply Castillo's her son, after she calls him "Richard".
As I said, I had to drop the book and go. I probably should have waited until I can go back and double-check before posting...
I read The Lost Era: The Sundered and Titan: The Red King. I'm deciding between continuing on with the Titan series (as I've read the first two books now) or switching off to read another Sulu M&M novel with Forged in Fire. [Edit: Oh, I also finally read To Reign in Hell (the conclusion of Greg Cox's Kahn series).]
I found it on p. 164 of the paperback.
That's not saying she's his mother. It's saying that she's calling him something that, according to him, only his mother calls him, so people are grinning at the irony of someone who isn't his mother calling him that. And then he plays along by jokingly responding as if she were his mother. If she actually were his mother, there'd be no joke and no reason for anyone to grin.
