So what are you reading now?

[SicOne]

Kind of a combination of business and pleasure...trying to read "Strength For Life" (a diet and exercise book)(yes, yes, yes, I know I have to actually DO the tips mentioned therein...) to reduce my gross tonnage, as well as many work and Federal tomes for my engineer's recertification, but my attention keeps getting drawn back towards "Destiny Book 2" in my attempt to finish the trilogy before I really get busy, and the John Birmingham "Weapons Of Choice" books are also tugging on my sleeve for attention.

I'm sure I am not alone in the belief of so many books, so little time.

OmahaStar, be prepared to immediately read "City Of The Dead" upon finishing Keene's "The Rising".

Today my copy of "A Singular Destiny" finally arrived. So that'll be my priority for the next couple of days.

Otherwise I'm right now rereading Bujold's "Memory" and "A Civil Campaign" from the Vorkosigan-series, working my way through the Myriad Universes and Mirror Universes-anthologies, and I got started on Hosseini's "A Thousand Splendid Suns".

(not to mention all the books that I need to read for my courses... and that the day only has 24 hours... *sighs*)

I am re-reading the TNG relaunch..Beginning with Death in Winter. I just finished the New Jedi Order(yes i can read both trek and wars books and not feel shame at all!) I am waiting for A Singular Destiny, so i am doing what comes natural. perhaps ill have the whole TNG-R finished before i get it.

 

[DimesDan]

I just finished the New Jedi Order(yes i can read both trek and wars books and not feel shame at all!)

Same here, I've been slowly going through the New Jedi Order for three years now and I've been distracted by the post NJO, Trek and non "Star" books I've been reading in that time frame.

 

[Thrawn]

I think the NJO is pretty fantastic stuff, no shame in that!

 

[ronny]

Yesterday I finished Do Comets Dream?, what a freaking snoozer, and last night I started Maigret and the Wine Merchant. I'm also reading a story from Wounds between every novel until that's done. So far that's been very good.

 

[Dayton Ward]

I have a couple of books going currently:

The Pirate Coast, by Richard Zacks
Don't Bunch Up, by William Van Zanten
Greater Than the Sum, by Christopher (I'm playing catch-up)

And because I happened across one of my copies while looking for something else and couldn't avoid getting sucked in:

The Making of Star Trek by Stephen Whitfield

 

[Defcon]

"The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"

I planned to read them all right after the other, but since the first book isn't really doing that much for me so far I guess I'll throw in a different book after every volume.

 

[Semah]

I'm reading through about chess books and Theodore Rex, a Teddy Roosevelt biography which is rather good.

 

[elaithin]

Just finished A Singular Destiny, so presently, I'm reading Crown of Slaves by Eric Flint & David Weber, and The War of the Worlds by H.G. Well.

 

[greenmystik]

Currently re-reading A Time To... Series. On A Time To Harvest right now.

 

[EliyahuQeoni]

I'm currently reading General William Tecumseh Sherman's Memoirs. When I'm done I plan on picking up Singular Destiny. I've also been making my way through Forrester's Hornblower books in between other books.

 

[Marie1]

I'm trying to cure myself of my addiction to DS9PF (and distract myself from the fact that the Soul Key is several months away) by reading Lost Era's The Art of the Impossible. Thanks to the posters who suggested it to me, I'm liking the ST "past" way more than I thought I would...

 

[Holodeck Addict]

Hi Everyone,
Currently I am reading Enterprise: Kobyashi Maru and The Ultimate History of Video Games. Once I finish my Enterprise book i am onto the Destiny Trilogy that I got for Christmas.

 

[Johnhead99]

I am currently re-reading the first 4 Titan books. To be exact, I am in the middle of The Red King.

At work, on my breaks, I am reading The Time Travellers(SP?) Wife. My last book I finished at work was My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

 

[DimesDan]

"The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"

I planned to read them all right after the other, but since the first book isn't really doing that much for me so far I guess I'll throw in a different book after every volume.

The first time I tried to read that I got about half way through Hitch Hikers and put it down, then the second time I read it, I read the first four, but part five (Mostly Harmless) was so strange that I stopped after a while. I do plan on reading it again sometime soon, so third time lucky I might get all the way through.

I book I've tried and failed to read about four times is 1984, each time I get further and further through, but after a while I just give up.

 

[Desert Kris]

After an extended period of Robert E. Howard short stories and Star Wars comics (to which I've added into the rotation Star Trek comics ever since I heard about the CD Rom that has, like all of them up to the year 2002, awesome, awesome!) I have returned to the early New Frontier saga that I started a year or so ago. I'm making my way throught the fifth book, Martyr, getting quite a kick out of it; after which I hoped to tackle the second book in the X-Wing series.

 

[Ward Fowler]

At work, on my breaks, I am reading The Time Travellers(SP?) Wife.

That's an excellent book.

I'm on a bit of a Trek kick now. In the past three weeks I've read or re-read:
Final Frontier
Vanguard: Harbinger
Vanguard: Summon the Thunder
Resistance
Q&A
Before Dishonor
and I'm currently reading Greater Than the Sum

I hadn't read Final Frontier since it first came out so I had forgotten how great it was. I was really impressed by how fantastic the Vanguard series is, and the only TNG book that didn't really impress me was Resistance. I felt there were some flaws in the logic of the story. The other TNG books have been great. Yes, that includes Before Dishonor. I'm just getting into Great Than the Sum, but so far it has been really good.

 

[OmahaStar]

OmahaStar, be prepared to immediately read "City Of The Dead" upon finishing Keene's "The Rising".

I've got them both, along with Rising: Selected Scenes From the End of the World ... Then Castaways (just finished that, it was the first book of his I'd read), Conqueror Worms, Dead Sea, Ghost Walk, and Ghoul.

I am trying to find a reasonably priced copy of Earthworm Gods: Selected Scenes, but the cheapest I've found so far is like 60 bucks. If nothing else, I'll wait til later this year when it's released as an ebook.
