So what are you reading now (Part 4)?

Not open for further replies.
Just started reading Beirut 39: New Writing From the Arab World, a new anthology of short stories, novel excerpts, and a bit of poetry by young writers. I've read books by Naguib Mahfouz, Hassan Daoud, Alaa Al-Aswany, and Rawi Hage, but everyone in this book is new to me.
 
Just finished 'Good night, Mr. Holmes' this weekend. Am now reading 'The Well of Lost Plots', the third book in the Thursday Next series.
 
Just finished Ex Machina (loved it) and now just starting on The Buried Age (Loving the Stargazer stuff so far). Also started Margaret Wander Bonanno's Unspoken Truth but I've sorta fallen out of it for now. Eagerly awaiting a new title in the Vanguard series, though that appears to be almost a year from now. :(
 
Yep, according to the schedule in the magazine there's a full length novel coming out at the end of 2011.
 
Finished 'How Much For Just The Planet' which was a strange book, now onto 'Medusa' by Clive Cussler.
 
Trying to decide what to read (for pleasure that is, I'm always reading stuff for research) next... Probably the Strontium Dog "Search And Destroy File 01" doorstop of a trade collection. Or maybe Riptide by Lincoln Child & Doug Preston.
 
Just finished Chapter 6 of Losing the Peace. It's a hard read. Well done but very depressing. Hoping it lightens up soon. Taking it a chapter at a time.
 
Finished the Destiny trilogy last week, which was one of the most epic reads ever. Finished A Singular Destiny yesterday and getting ready to move on to Losing the Peace.
 
Re-reading the Star Wars: Legacy of the Force series. I seem to be in the minority here, but actually really enjoyed these books. It feels like classic star wars to me, more than the NJO did.
 
I finished "The Devil You Know" by Heather Jarman, the Jadzia-centric story in Prophecy and Change. I really liked this one, it brought back an interesting one off character (T'Rul) and also provided an interesting story about examining how far one will go to win a war. My Rating: 9/10
 
It's been a while since I posted and read an ST novel but recently finished "Unification" and will be starting "Crossover" soon with "Precipe" in the not too distant future.
 
I'm taking a break from the Phantom and am reading The Hunger Games. Mockingjay has been shipped so I want to read the other two in the series before I get it.
 
I'm taking a break from Mission Gamma: Twilight because, while I really enjoyed character moments (such as Taran'atar watching a group of kindergarten-age children), it is taking ages for anything to actually happen, and it hasn't gripped me. In the meantime, I've completed the Infinity's Prism anthology by reading the alternate VOY story, Places of Exile, which is great. It's amazing how much I've enjoyed VOY literature, even though it's my least favorite Trek show. Maybe because the medium allows the authors to shake things up. I'm reading the Homecoming/Farther Shore duology (I'm halfway through the second novel). It's very gripping, and I enjoy having a story set mostly on Earth, and seeing a darker side of the Federation (the Patriot Act parallels are obvious). And these are supposed to be the 'bad VOY novels'? In that case, the good ones must be really awesome. :)

Have you read the A Time To... books yet? If not you should, they also have some big modern day parallels, and darker stuff in them. Aaaand alot of them takes place on Earth.
