So what are you reading, now? Part V

[Sakrysta]

Finished - The Brave and the Bold: Book One. Unremarkable and unoffensive.
Reading - The Brave and the Bold: Book Two.
Listening to: Forest Mage by Robin Hobb. I don't think I've ever encountered so many different descriptions of what it's like to be fat in my life.

 

[Snaploud]

I just finished Against All Odds (Book 7 in the A Galaxy Unknown series), a couple old Mike Resnick short stories, and The Hot Gate (book 3 in the Troy Rising series).

 

[popsicle]

Just finished Typhon Pact: Seize the Fire (which I didnt think was as horrible as reviews had me believe) and have just started Typhon Pact: Rough Beasts of the Empire.

 

[Lonemagpie]

What with the funeral I forgot to update my "reading" part of the sig. Right now I'm reading the Strontium Dog collection Search/Destroy Agency Files 01 by John Wagner and Alan Grant, and various artists, which is a paving-slab sized omnibus of the first four or five years of the series...

 

[Cap'n Crunch]

Currently reading Eureka: Brain Box Blues. I'm about halfway through and so far not a lot has really happened.

 

[JD]

I'm going to give my paperbacks another try. Which will add A Game of Thrones and Star Wars Outbound Flight to my reads. I was also working on ST: Seven Deadly Sins, but that's a trade and I don' think my arms can take that right now.

 

[ICW]

I just finished reading Indistinguishable From Magic and I am going to read the S.C.E. novel Buying Time

 

[Kertrats47]

I too have just finished Indistinguishable From Magic, and I'm debating between three or four possibilities at the moment. As soon as I get home, I'm going to download a new novel, but I'm torn between Kristen Beyer's Unworthy, the next Vanguard novel that I haven't read (Reap the Whirlwind), and Inception by S.D. Perry and Britta Dennison. Finally, it's been pointed out to me that I've never read Peter David's Vedetta, and oversight that I intend to rectify soon. Guess I better make a decision in the next few hours!

 

[KirkPicard]

"Sorrows of Empire" by David Mack and started the Hitchhiker's Guide series by Douglas Adams.

 

[S. Gomez]

FINALLY finished A Game of Thrones just a little bit ago. Took me about a month, and I was expecting to be faster (yes, even though it's a monster of a book). In the end I had to put aside my Cleopatra biography to barrel through the last 150 pages or so in time for the series premiere. But not a boring book at all. I can see myself continuing the series, if not for a little while.

It was my birthday this past week and I got a copy of Charles Portis' True Grit so that might be my next book.

Finished : Heat Wave (by "Richard Castle"....review below)
Reading : Will begin Priest's Graveyard (Ted Dekker) tomorrow as soon as the Hardcover arrives.

Review for Heat Wave: (3.75/5.00)

Not too bad. Definitely only for fans of the show though. For anyone who's a fan of Castle, this works pretty well as a tie in to the show as well as fun, quick novel that definitely fits the Castle character from the show. It's basically a little longer version of an episode of Castle and while it starts out a bit slow and awkward in places, it finds it's voice around chapter 7-8 and finishes nicely. Recommend for fans of the show, but probably not anyone else.

I finished Buying Time and the New Frontier short story Lefler's Logs yesterday and I am now reading the Voyager novel Dark Matters: Ghost Dance

[JD]

I'm finally feeling better, so I went back to "Revenant" from ST: Seven Deadly Sins.

 

[BrotherBenny]

I just finished DS9's The Siege, and it was an OK read, pretty average although I would like to know if the red changeling was one of The Hundred that had been corrupted or was just teasing Odo about his origins. I need to look at Voyages of the Imagination to see if it mentions anything.

I'm now reading DS9's Bloodletter by K. W. Jeter. I hope it's not as weird as Warped (I think that was also Jeter).

Inception

Well, I actually went ahead and bought two books yesterday, Inception and Unworthy. After I downloaded it, I read a number of reviews that were very critical of Inception. I finished the book a couple of hours ago, and I guess you could chalk my reaction up to "lowered expectations." I think because I wasn't expecting much, I actually enjoyed the book quite a bit. I thought that the authors captured Kirk's and Spock's voices quite well, and often heard Shatner's delivery in my head as I read. I do agree with some reviewers that Leila came across as way too needy and desperate, but having been forewarned, it didn't grate on me as much as it might have otherwise. Also, it was an incredibly fast read... I don't think I've ever before blown through a novel, Star Trek or not, in less than two days.

I've now started on Unworthy, only about two chapters in at the moment.
