Just finished 'The Starship Trap' by Mel Gilden. Thoroughly enjoyable, although a bit basic by todays standards.
Next up: The String Theory trilogy.
 
Finished up Hard Rain, the last of the "unnumbered" TOS and TNG books for me. Basically sections 2 and 4 of Chapter 3 of VotI. Next up ST wise will be working on Captains Table and Gateway series. I've only read the DS9 and NF books on those series.

Hard Rain itself, there just wasn't much there. Aside from some Captains Logs explaining what's up the entire book takes place inside a Dixon Hill holoprogram. And the ending was unsatisfying. Made what went on before sort of pointless.

Last night I started Ripley Under Ground, the 2nd of the 5 Ripley books by Patricia Highsmith and the follow up to The Talented Mr. Ripley.
 
Ealier today I finished up A Singular Destiny, then I read The Sacred Chalice in Shards and Shadows, and I just started The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Last year I just started reading both The Increasingly Inacurately Named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, and the Discworld books. So far the only Discworld books I've read are the first two Rincewind books.
I just learned last night that there will be a sixth HG2G book later this year, so I will definitely be keeping an eye on that as I read the others.

The copy I have says it is a trilogy in five parts. :devil:
 
That works too. The title I used was what it called the series on either wikipedia and/or Amazon, I can't remember for sure where I saw it.

Ah cool, on my edition it says that it's a trilogy in five parts which just sums up the late Douglas Adam's humour very well.

As for what I'm reading, after a few days of reading Shards and Shadows, I'm up to the KRAD entry in there and have resumed my reading of Before Dishonour.
 
Moving on... I just finished re-reading Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 for my science fiction lit class (I love college, sometimes.) Now I'm back to David Weber and the Honorverse in Shadows of Saganami. And waiting, waiting, waiting for Over A Torrent Sea to show up....
 
I have not read Fahrenheit 451 since I was in college, which seems like a very long time ago. I may have to find my copy.
 
Just had a four day break away and got through a nice stack of reading including the first two of Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld series - same person who's currently scripting the Angel comic - which I can heartily recommend!

I just finished The War of the Worlds, so now it's time for some non-school reading with Mirror Universe: Shards and Shadows.
 
Reading 'Genesis Wave' finished 1,2. I was amused by 'Lt. David Mack' appearing. Any other trek authors have cameos in the books?
