Yes, it's...slow-going. I left it for Asimov's The Currents of Space, which was a much tastier read.
So what are you reading? Part VI

@timothy "American Vampire" is actually created and written by Scott Snyder. Stephen King contributed to the book with a couple issues.
I'm currently starting "Star Trek DTI: Watching the Clock" by Christopher L. Bennett and then after that will be moving on to the "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" novelization by Peter David.

Thinking of reading A Canticle for Libowitz. Anyone read it, like it, hate it?
I've read it, and in my opinion it's well worth your time.
Almost halfway through "The Nazi War on Cancer" by Robert N. Proctor (1999) and maybe starting "Greater Than the Sum" by Christopher L. Bennett (2008). Looking at getting and reading more of CLBs books. Also wish to continue with MWBs books (Margaret Wander Bonanno). Shall have to research what the Vanguard series consists of and plan to purchase them soon. Also just bought the "Destiny" trilogy. Don't know yet about other "Titan" books either.
"Of the writing of many books there is no end; and, much study is wearisome to the flesh."

Just finished reading the July/August Analog and I'm continuing to read Dragonfly Falling, the second novel in the Shadows of the Apt series. Since I couldn't take my Kindle with me to the Dallas Mavericks parade on Thursday of last week I had to resort to taking a dead tree book so I started the fifth book in the Temeraire series, Victory of Eagles. That will be an occasional read, for when I can't take my Kindle places (such as with the parade and 250,000 people).
Read and enjoyed the last two books in Jack Womack's Dryco Chronicles, Random Acts of Senseless Violence (which would work just fine as a standalone novel, and you should read it) and Going Going Gone, which wraps up the parallel universe and time travel elements of the series in a surprising way.
Now reading some Denise Mina. The graphic novel A Sickness in the Family wasn't bad. The new Alex Morrow novel The End of the Wasp Season is more my speed, though, and so far I think this one is better than the previous book in the series.

Looks like I'll reading it eventually then.
found the complete works of william shakeshpere on my nook for only $.99 it say it has all his plays and sonets. my question is what the hell is a sonet? plan to read it later this year. and one other question what is the name of plato's story that contains atlantis in it?
In the usual sense, it's a 14 line poem with the rhyme structure a-b-a-b/c-d-c-d/e-f-e-f/g-g. Shakespeare was a poet as much as a playwright.
And the other question, there were two dialogues that he mentioned Atlantis in: Timaeus introduced it, and Critias gave some more background on the civilization, though Plato was never able to finish Critias.
A sonnet is a poem, and in the case of Shakespeare it's a poem of a very specific length (14 lines) and a very specific rhyme scheme (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG).
Meanwhile, I just reread Greg Cox's Q trilogy - and you might guess that I must really like it if I decided to reread it, and you would be right.
I've just started Changes, the 12th book in the "Dresden Files" series. I've been saving it because I want to follow it up immediately with the next book in the series, Ghost Story, since (from what I understand) it begins almost immediately after Changes ends, and Ghost Story is due out in just a few days.
Mort is great, of course...is Game of Thrones really that bad? It doesn't sound like my kind of thing, but I know people with good taste who like it. Then again, who says I have good taste?

I just finished volume 1 of Worlds of DS9. Una McCormack's writing style didn't bug me quite as much as it did the first time I read it, and I was able to appreciate the story itself more as a result, I think. However, Heather Jarman's "Paradigm" was just as beautifully rich this time. What an exquisite depiction she gave us of Andor in all its unique intricacy!
Next on my list is Spirit Walk: Old Wounds. *sigh*
